I need this info too. Something is making a nasty ticking noise and best we can tell from the old listening methods, it isn't a lifter or the exhaust. I looked around the manifold and exhaust connections and nothing showed soot. The head sounded quiet as can be, so it is down to waterpump or a tensioner. If it is tensioner, we think it may be the one on the driver's side of the fan.

What is a time estimate for this little task? I have done water pumps and timing belts before, but this is my first on a Montero.

Might be tackling this Sunday, but probably not enough time to do so and have it wrapped up. I have to drop the Montero back off where the tranny work was done to have them re-fix the torque converter. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> Must be running by Sunday evening at the latest.

Can you PM the info to me? I am on dial-up so 8Mb would take a while to get. I will PM my email address to you if sending the info to me in a PM won't work.
