Timing belt change question...
Jim Ma replied to Mjez's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFirst, get a service manual. You need a chain wrench to hold the crank pulley to loosen the crank pulley bolt. Buy a timing belt kit,Gates or AC Delco are good The 2.2 is a clearance engine ,meaning if the belt fails the pistons won't hit the valves. I use . autopartsgeek.com, bmaautoparts.com, Rockauto.com Etc. I would replace the cam and crank seals ,water pump ,timing belt kit. The tensioner should be ok for 300k. use torque wrench on everything(In Lb), (Ft Lb). Don't touch the oil pump unless it is leaking. If you work on BMW this is a piece of cake. JM

A note on timing belt change. To loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt I use a bought a chain wrench (Harbor Freight) it goes all the way around the crank pulley and stops it from turning. There is a great site that shows timing belt replacement and other tips ,check it out. allwheeldriveauto.com or Beergarage.com good photos
