I bought a timing belt and thats it...do I TRULY need all those parts???

 

For sure. The belt might be new, but that still doesn't mean the tensioner won't take a ****. It's an important service, you should do it right.

 

+1, you dont want any of those parts taking a ****. Might as well get it over with and be worry free

 

Made that mistake with 4g63's before listen to my man do it all while your there. That tensioner takes a dive over the most stupid ****!!!

 

I am ordering the whole timing kit with Gates Racing belts from mitsubishparts.net for $512.42 shipped.

Can anyone beat this price?

 

I would not do the 60k service without swapping any of those parts it's cheap insurance.

 

you guys are right. i will look into this whole kit. thanks!

 

What timing parts on my car were found to be in new condition at 60K may be toast on your car. So, asking if certain parts are necessary is useless. Parts like pulleys with bearings are easy to check once you are in there. Parts like the tensioner and water pump can fail without warning and should be replaced.

 

spend the 500 instead of rebuilding your engine

 

you should look in your owner's manual and do EVERYTHING it says for the 60k service. it's one of the most important.

 

Yep, change everything out, even those idler & tensioner pulleys that you are probably referring to just to save a little money. Evo maintenance isn't cheap, but I'm sure you knew that before you bought it

 

Do you have to go to the dealer for this? My Evo only has 45k on it but I'm curious.

 

If you do be sure to bring one of 2 items KY or Vaseline your gonna need it.

 

not if you have a decent EVO shop in your area. I went to KevinD for my timing belt services.

 

The 4G63 is an interference engine therefore if your belt or tensioner break, you risk serious damage to your engine's internals; such as bent valves.
