chadz34 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 I called my Chevrolet dealer and they said change your timing belt 95-100,000 km, I am at 95, so I took ym cover off and inspected it, it has monor cracks all over the belt, and I was wondering if you guys think when the belt starts to crack, if it needs to be changed, especially since I am going to Brampton to the W-body meet, I wouldn't like it if I was stranded. I got a quote for 650 in labour and 100 for the belt. Also, I read the oilchange from fucking hell article and I am changing my oil tomorrow using an AC Delco filter, I use Fram and am scared cause I get some new noise when I start my motor. Quote
ShockTherapy Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 fram is trash, anyone will tell you that, and yes, get that belt replaced ASAP as your LQ1 is an interference engine. Quote
joey b Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 better replace all the other stuff as well such as the tensioner and what not. Parts is like 200 for all. Quote
White93z34 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 weren't you saying a month or so ago how it looked brand new? head on over to 60degreev6, read their write up. and order in the parts, and prepare to be carless for a weekend. Quote
fastbird232 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 Yeah, you can't break anything if you change it too early, but it'll all go to hell if you change it too late. Quote
