Well I passed my 60k service a while back and have been a bit lazy to do it. I have no problem changing the fluids myself thats easy but the belts and water pump I dont know how to do. I was looking on ebay and found this great deal but Im not sure how reliable it is. What do you guys think? Should I go for it.

well for a timing belt u prob wanna go name brand greddy mabey>

 

Call Russell at MitsubishiParts.net 360-528-3827, only use OEM parts!

 

What other parts do I need? Timing belt + Balance belt. Do I need to get the tensioners as well? What about the serpentine belt?

 

 

i just had mine done and cost about 700 what the dealership charges but they only do the timning belt i got all the tensioners and the waterpump for the dealer cost

 

Always replace the hrdraulic tensioner when doing the timing belt. Since you're already there, you should change the water pump for peace of mind.

 

serpentine belt isnt really needed you can visual inspect that to see if its still good

 

I ordered my stuff from buschur. Check it out. I upgraded to the greddy kevlar belt but you dont have to. Dont go cheap on it. use all oem stuff but if want upgrade to the kelvar belts. Dont chance reusing the hydraulic tensioner. Not necessary to replace water pump you will have everything out so why not.

 

NO dont get that ebay crap get a gates come with the small belt as well. Gates are the people that make the greddy belts but theses are way stronger then greddy. Go to TTP website to order one.

 

I would do everything while your in there, balance belt, water pump, all the pulleys and tensioners.
On a side note, I have one of the tensioners you need for sale, the one behind the power steering pump. PM me if your interested.

Oh yeah, and get the parts from RussellM, its the best price your gonna get.

 

Here You Go

 

get all OEM, or all OEM except the Kevlar belt. Not worth saving the couple bucks for junk timing gear on a interference engine.

 

We have gates Timing and balace shaft belts in stock.

We also have put together the timing belt care package which includes all the wear item parts.
