Suzrub Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I have an 1989 4x4 dl wagon (EA82) How do I check if the timing belts are broken? Thanks Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Pull the disty cap and turn the engine over. It will tell you if the drivers side is broken or not. The passenger side, you need to pull the cover off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmen Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 also: if it starts, they are not broken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 easiest way is pop the lil rubber caps out of the timing belt covers. stick a finger in there and feel for the belt under tension. If nothing, you've got blown belts. There is an easier way, but u have to know what a sooby sounds like with blown belts. Just cranking on an engine, I can tell if the belts are blown. The engine will turn over about 3 times faster than it usually will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
