About to do the timing belt service, got a timing belt, water pump, timing and balance shaft belt and some pulleys. I'm just wondering, should I change the timing belt tensioner as well or can I reuse the old one? thanks in advance.

 

It's wise to replace the tensioner if your replacing the belt. Especially if you're performing the 60k service. It's always good to be thorough when you're dealing with the pieces that keep your engine from smashing into itself.

 

Change it.

 

just do it while they are in there.

 

Alright I'll get it done. Thanks for your input fellas!

 

Depends on mileage. 60k id re use.
Over 90k id replace hydraulic tensioner,tensioner eccentric, idler pulley.

 

replace everything. it would suck to have to go back in there again

 

Absolutely replace the tensioner. It is my opinion that it is always wise to replace cheap parts that are only accessed through deep labor, when you are already there.

 

I didn't change mine at 60k and it blew up before I hit 120k and i had to rebuild the head. Replace it
