[Supras] Timing belt replacement

[D P]

Bob,
My 92T was parked for over a year.  The high pressure PS line was leaking 
really bad and the fan shroud had broken off and tore up the fan.
Anyway, when I decided to fix these things, the only other thing I replaced 
is the timing belt.  The crank seal was good and the water pump was good.   
I can hear the voice of my father-in-law in my head.........if it's not 
broken, don't fix it.
Well, it's been about 9 months now and still running well with no leaks.  
This is my second timing belt and original WP and crank seal.  I have 
thought about replacing them but I didn't.  I did replace all belts and 
hoses.....the simple things really.
So, I guess it's up to you.  Since you're already there, might as well go 
ahead and do it for the peace of mind.
