Re: Timing Belt? ?

The tensioner is for the TB. It is best to do all of that, but you probably don't need to do the crank seal, they usually don't leak especially on the front side. 1g and 2g belt should be the same. The balance shaft is removed because 1/2 the time when the timing belt goes, it is the balance shaft belt breaking and getting stuck in the TB. It is also less rotating mass and one less thing to go wrong.

None of the Ebay kits include the hydraulic tensioner and I get worried about the generic belts, I have seen several fail early in life. The MAP belts are very good. I like to use OEM stuff, except the kevlar belts, but that is just me.
