Does everybody chang the oil pump when doing the timing belt? -Wade-SpyderVenom said:All but one time that I changed or had the timing belt off the engine (about 5 times now), I had the engine out of the car. The one time that I didn't take the engine out - it took almost as long and I scraped the back of my hands raw.
If you do change the belt by taking out the engine, change the water pump, oil pump, thermostat, HFH, and HFHOE as well.
