[WTB] Timing belt tensioner

Post by Mad Cow »

My ZE just developed the infamous timing belt tensioner knock, so I'm looking for a new or practically new one.

Ebay! Check on there, I just got a whole timing belt kit and hydraulic tensioner for 140$

If you hafta fix one thing, might as well fix everything under there while you are at it. Get a waterpump too! If you're doing it yourself, you can have everything for like 250$ w/ shipping.

I already bought the belt, and I was hoping for cheaper than ebay.

Have you looked into rebuilding it? Try searching I believe Juans has done it and did a writeup.

Just read that, and I don't really wanna mess with a manual tensioner. But then again it's worth a try, and I guess it'll be fine if I cut out a hole in the cover to adjust it.
