Provided you know the engine is timed correctly in the first place, it could save a lot of hassle as modern engines are getting more complex to time. Two quick questions: How easy is the belt to cut, I imagine it is quite tough material. Presumably you would need to slacken the adjuster slightly, to remove the belt tension, but not enough to allow the belt to slip on any of the teeth and then re-tension the new belt once completely on the pulleys. |

No really easy to cut with a sharp Stanley blade, only slightly slacken the tensioner when you have he new belt almost on. Make sure thats the last part of the belt you feed on is the tensioner, only needs slight release on the tensioner. Where the belt is under tension in the first place it's easy to cut, make sure that's the bit you take the time with as if it snaps, well you'll need to time it.
I'll do my can belt in my t4 and show you when the time comes.

I saw this done on an episode of Wheeler Dealers some time back on a Nissan Skyline and thought it was a brilliant time saver.
The problem is that you should really replace the tensioner and water pump for piece of mind, can they be replaced doing it this way? |

The tensioner could be replaced once the new belt is on and before the tensioner is tensioned to the correct spec. Personally I will still change belts by the book, but if it enables someone to successfully change a belt without loosing the timing all well and good. |

I never saw that episode, would be even easier on an RB engine as they are mounted laterally and cam pulleys are at the front, swop the belts first before you change tensioner.

How did you wear the timing belt with white mark to carrot mark? How is this possible?) I tried to find better configuration, but immediately I feel it hits piston heads. In my case timing mark on the camshaft pulley is visible in the centre of cover and white mark on the belt match with it.
