GEN 3 Timing Belt Parts List

[arb098]

Alright, guys. I'll be doing my timing belt job this weekend, and I want to make sure I have all of the required parts. What I have is bellow:

Front & Rear Crank Seal (Just wanted the front, but accidentally bought the rear, too)
2 x Front Cam Seals (Since I hear these leak the most)
Serpentine Belt
Updated Crank Bolt & Washer (Not sure how mine made it to 150k+ with the dumbbell)
I got the AISIN Timing Belt Component Kit - Belt, waterpump, tensioner bearing, Idler bearing, waterpump gaskets
Tensioner


Am I missing anything? Anything that you guys think I shoudl change while I'm in there?

Looks like you got everything

Not necessary but I replaced my serpentine belt pulleys and tensioners too while I at it.
Also I bought rear cam seal too since rockauto had it but I did not need it because cam shaft doesnt not extend out to valve cover. Is that same in NP models ? Not sure why they had it for sale.

Oh and make sure that oring for back of waterpump is nice and tight when you insert waterpipe back in. Mine started leaking within a year. Seem like couple others had same issue. But mine wasn't Aisin kit.

Question: is there any known issue with crank bolt on Gen3? I know about the Gen2 issue.


Goodluck !

Question: is there any known issue with crank bolt on Gen3?

The crank bolt is a recommended torque once bolt (any M12 bolt over 100 ft/lbs torque). Replace each time on all the V6s with every timing belt (or any reason this bolt is tightened to torque and replaced)
