Well, today i sold the Neon after deciding that fixing the damage from the deer was going to be too much. So i sold it today for $1200 cash and then turned around and bought a 1995 Eagle Talon. Drove it around Roeland park and decided i had to have it. Has high mileage but i will rebuild the motor probably this summer so that's not a biggie. 225k but like i said going to rebuild it. Doesn't burn oil, appears to be pretty decent shape. However sounds like the idler pulley or tensioner could be going out. Was wondering if i bought the belt kit if someone could help me replace those sometime really soon.

boosted?

:( no

Would anyone be able to give me a hand with changing a timing belt on this thing?

Only one that I know here...that would be of any doesn't live anywhere near us.

Timing belt, ouch! Never done one before. But plan on doing mine next year.

Have you done one before? If you need help I could try to help out. Its a 95 Talon, and what size engine is in it? 2.0 SOHC or is it a DOHC? I know my car requires a special tool to get the belt off.

2.0L DOHC

I'm pretty sure his motor does too, I remember a neighbor having one, non-turbo and he ended up selling it after he did the timing belt himself.

If its a interference motor, pay someone... that way if it gets fucked up.. it there fault.

If its not, show me some online manauls and I'll see if its something I would want to attempt with you.

Eh, he hasn't installed a timing belt in his talon anyway. The one time it snapped it was towed to a shop where the put a new head and timing belt on. He requested they do it when he had it in a week prior and they said it didn't need it. So they replaced everything a week later due to it breaking.

I've never done a timing belt on a dsm...but i can't imagine it being that difficult. Especially non turbo version
