87 Max timming belt

Sep 12, 2006 1 Replies

I'm in the process of replacing the timming belt on my max. I was told by two mechanics to get a timming belt kit and a new water pump. I got the pump and the kit. The kit says on the box that it includes the Belt(s), Idler(s), and tensioner(s). In the kit all I can see is a belt and a tensioner. My question is, does this car have an idler pulley on the timming belt? Also how many tensioners does it have? If any, how many Idler pulleys?



Thanks,

That's all it has, one tensioner and no idlers. Make SURE the new belt has marks on it to align the cams (Or make some before you remove the old belt) or you'll never get it timed right trying to use the marks on the covers...
