Which Procedure to Use

WHICH PROCEDURE TO USE, MAINTENANCE OR BROKEN BELT REPLACEMENT

MAINTENANCE
The "Maintenance" ServiceSteps procedure is a start to finish, step-by-step article which assumes the timing belt is not broken and is being replaced for preventative maintenance.

BROKEN BELT
The "Broken Belt" procedure is also a start to finish, step-by-step article, but it assumes the timing belt is broken, or may be broken. This procedure includes an article on verifying (diagnosing) the condition of the timing belt and determining if any valve damage exists.
