    ^agreed. No point in doing the belt and having the tensioner fail on you.

    Only postage from Japan to Aus is missing. I can give an approximation on postage because it depends on what it is packaged with. The last set of these cost $7.80 each part to get to Australia (about $25)

      Make sure you mark the old belt when taking it off. Mark the new belt and it will let you know if you have your timing right or not. Also make sure you have the tool to take the balancer off.

      make sure you turn the engine round 3 or 4 times by hand to mark sure the timing marks line up each pass.

      Good god, I wouldnt move the engine an inch! Mark the old one, pull it off, put the new one on. The longer its off & more you move the engine, the more chance you have of f**king it up.
