1996 Daihatsu Hijet s110p timing belt

[@Liberty4Ever]

Good timing belt public service announcement. My 1996 Hijet's timing belt was replaced 30,000 km ago. No more than I drive, I may never need to replace it. I wish you'd made a video of the timing belt replacement, but given the ease of access, it doesn't look too difficult. My Hijet has the 12 valve DOHC, so the belt is a bit more difficult than usual, and a bit harder to locate. I placed a parts order from Japan. I wish I'd bought a timing belt just to have on hand in case they become unavailable. Daihatsu is apparently no longer making clutch parts for the 1996 Hijet. I had to buy some Aisin aftermarket parts. If I was replacing the timing belt, I'd probably replace the water pump at the same time. When replacing the clutch (clutch disk, pressure plate and throw out bearing, I also got the parts to replace the throw out bearing retaining clip, pilot bearing and rear main oil seal in the engine.

I didnt opt to do the water pump only because the timing belt dont turn it, it functions with the fan belt. Super easy job.
