I would have it all on hand just in case...but if you are only at 105k and the water pump is dry (no signs of leakage) I would leave it alone, and if the Idler Pulleys and Tensioner are not noisey (take them loose and spin the bearing in your hand to check) I would leave them alone too.

hmmm, well I am ordering it all as I don't have a local dealer so not sure about sending what I don't use back. Maybe just not order the tensioner and idler pulleys?

Same with the A/C and alternator belts. If they don't look bad don't replace them.

Your mileage may vary, but I did all of that on my '04 TS last year. With the 35k or so miles a year I put on it, I didn't feel like chancing it. Plus I got a nice deal from my local Subaru specialist.

Check your tensioner for a good amount of oil on the top seal. If it's leaking, get a new one. If it's not, leave it alone.

Seems like alot of extra dough for the just in case... what's the typical life span of the pulleys? I don't mind paying it if it's worth it.

Let me look at it another way if you guys will indulge me... which of these parts is easy to change at a later date, and which are easier to change while you're in there (water pump)?

are you twin cam or single cam?
if your doing it yourself id invest in some cam pulley stoppers,they help SOOOO much,and its like a good insurance plan.. only on a twin cam though, single cam is a non interference. |

I've done a ton of timing belts on Subies and I always do the following:
Timing belt (obviously) water pump oil pump tensioner (if leaking) thermostat and all related gaskets including crank seal. pulleys I've seen have never been bad (even on one with 160k). Sometimes a cam seal is leaking but that will be very noticeable. Is all that required? no. Will you know when it is? maybe... or maybe not until engine failure. I'm cautious. -Mike. |

If your belt jumps time and the tensioner causes it b/c you didn't replace it, you are going to kick yourself. Don't half-ass it. I'd also recommend replacing the front seals on the engine as well....cams/crank etc (along with the water pump). |

I'd also change out the oil pump while you're in there. I mean, how often do you want to mess with the front of your engine?

You will need the cam alignment tool--if I remember correctly. Hopefully someone will have a part number or lead you in the right direction.

I'm getting ready to do this on two cars and I am changing everything I can while it is apart. Spend a little more now rather a couple of grand later if the motor blows

I just skimmed this and I think that you guys recommended doing all the seals too.
cam and front main seals are a MUST when doing a timing belt. while you're in there, you know. sjd don't ask how I know...I think 8 years on I'm still bitter about my RS blowing a cam seal a WEEK after I did the t-belt, and got the belt and everything oily. that means new belt. |

Ok I have a bugeye WRX, and I'm having this done at ~90k with an 08 STi oil pump, and the water pump. Should I er' on the side of caution with the 257 STi timing belt? Or is this totally un-needed? Its stage 2 so slightly modded.

The cam tool is like $60 from Cobb Tuning if they still have one.
I wouldn't do the pullies or the pumps if they aren't leaking. Definately do the tensioner though. |

The folks at CarterSubaru.com say I won't need that tool, so now I am confused. Has anybody done it with or without said tool? I got a quote for $1500 to have it all done at a dealership, no way possible I can afford that.
