[Supras] Timing belt replacement

[Sean Cavanaugh]

water pump is outside the timing belt area, its behind the radiator fan.
 
as for oil leakage, it might be the oil pump cam seal leaking if not coming from all the way up at the cams. unless you're like me and the freeze plug behind the cover blows out and dumps ALL the oil in under 5 seconds. You can prob get a good look at your timing belt and the cam seals by removing only the top of the timing cover.
 
overall to do a timing belt replacement, just need the new timing belt and tensioner plus anything else that's damaged.
