Mattrav Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ok...now I am officially doudly confused. The guy at the local auto parts store told me there is no timing belt on an ea-71. Is this true? I am so new to this I don't know if I trust that. Thanks again, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ok...now I am officially doudly confused. The guy at the local auto parts store told me there is no timing belt on an ea-71. Is this true? I am so new to this I don't know if I trust that. Thanks again, Matt It is a chain (*EDIT - This is wrong: its gears. See next post. END EDIT*), as is the later/larger EA81. Timing belts are used on the EA82 engines and newer. This is one reason why the ea71/81s are liked by people who need rugged engines... no belt worries.

JWX Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 do you new guys just refuse to search? must you make a new thread for a simple question? I mean we all were new once and all but still no it does not have a timing belt or chain, it uses gears. just like the EA-81, but the EA-82 does in fact use timing belts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about the gears, of course. As far as Search, I was in charge of programming a search engine for 10 years. I STILL have not figured out how to get this one to work beyond simple-term search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
