The HECK is this noise?

[fixkick]

here is my other belts page

all belts can mess up.
the cam belt is never ever tension-ed like any assessory belt,
acc. belt.

It is a gates belt. After a day of driving it appears to be fine now.


Another question... It looks like the front crankshaft seal is leaking like crazy, this is not new, but it's time to take care of it.

Can you suggest a good way to replace the seal?

that same page covers the seal, in depth., and all ways to mess it up.


off the timing belt page is this page
or in the search box there, type, seal.

its done when new timing belt is replace, we look and see it leaks, so do that at belt time
and new water pump due to the fact that the pump fails in same miles as the belt, (par)
