Jags Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hello all, New subie owner here, got a free Subaru a month or two ago with a dead engine, before installing the used engine I decided to change out the belt only. Very stupid of me only to change out the belts, was my first timing job ever. Now my main question how long do the pulleys last? Engine supposedly has 50k - 60k miles on it and could still see the Subaru writing on the old belt, One of the pulleys had a tiny bit of noise from I believe. would these at least last another 80k miles?

DaveWaters Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 They could last another 80k but do you want to take that chance? Timing belt replacement schedule for 4th gen is 105k or 8 years. Most will replace the water pump as well as all the pulleys and tensioner while in there. The Aisin kit is what I used and I believe most here who’ve used it would recommend it. Fill us in on some info about your car. Guessing it’s a legacy? What year? Turbo or n/a? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 If the toothed idler pulley seizes the engine is toast. You can take the risk for a while, but if it were me I would go back and replace the pulleys and tensioner. Year and model would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
