Go to a place like Supercheap Auto or Repco and order a Gates T987 belt. You might need to shop around for the price a bit.

Yeah I found cbc bearings or bsc bearing to be the cheapest. They have a kit too.

yes, that is the whole set.

Is your engine leaking oil though?

Double half moon seals are usually the part that was worn out and need replacement. Also from camskill.

The whole purchase from Camskill and delivery to you takes under 2 weeks, so if you order now, you might get it by wednesday.

Do you have Malz in your state? The timing belt alone is about $120 - $140, if you buy from them, which is the cheapest I know.

Thing is, if you get your stuff from Camskill, you will probably not have issues with wrong parts.


edit: next wednesday. :lol:

I've guides to replacing the timing belt on a Mitsubishi and the process is very similar to what I did on the FTO. I guess it's a done one DOHC V6 Mitsubishi you have done them all.

Its called 'coming to terms with doing a sh*t of a job, in a sh*t of a little space.' Once you get over that little mental hurdle, you're on easy street :lol:

Totally agreed! Even the timing case was a bitch from memory!
