Does anyone know the timing procedure for a 2006 Evo IX timing belt and balance shaft belt install. I am replacing both today and I just wanted to double check too make sure this goes smoothly! Thanks Craig

ive watched jason @ topspeed do mine i was gonna doit but i didnt wanna fuck it up/.

i have this manual for the evo 9's it tells you everything from bolts to torque specs. basically you can tear apart your car and put it together if you wanted with this manual

But I do this for a living. I am the professional. Just not very familiar with Mitsubishi's. I am not worried. Just curious if anyone had any links to good write ups. Thanks

oh well just download the manual from evom and you should be good since most timing belts are same...

you would just need basic info on it which the manula has.

I watched a buddy of mine do this a couple weeks ago, it took him only 3 hours. This was with beer breaks and smoke breaks and BS'ing with the guys. I was impressed. He did it by taking it out of the passenger wheel well......

Yeah! My buddy at the Mitsubishi dealer finally came thru with a copy of the factory instructions!

when i got mine out at 60k the belt looked almost identical vs the new one. no cracks no missing tooth or nothing.

The reason for replacement is that the metal tone ring thingy for the crank postion sensor was bent. It hits the back of the belt and makes an annoying noise! To replace this the belt has to come out. So I am just going to replace the belt while I am in there. FYI the water pump was replaced under warrenty so I dont need to do that either. Just the belts.

I have quite a while before I need to change mine out. When is a good mileage for Evos? 90k?

NOPE. I cursed out a bunch of people the first week I had the car. I haven't logged in since.

I actually got in a huge online bitching debate with a guy on EvoM my 1st month on there (FJF is his SN). Come to find out were both detailing enthuisants and he recently sent me a crap ton of samples! :D
