I looking into buying a 1995 Kia Sportage for $150 but need a new timing belt. Looks Easy enough to replace but What i'm wondering what else should I check (Valves, Water Pump, Plugs, ETC) Is there likely damage to the Valves????? should I go ahead and replace the water pump while im in there Maybe use car as planter????. NOt sure, so if anyone has steps I should follow and things to check Please let me know. Thanks
Alittle info. My friend was driving at low turning corner speed when belt went and car died and was towed. I'm thinking Valves might be ok. But again Any input would be great.

This is an interference engine; so I think you probably only have about a 10% chance that the valves are not bent.
Without taking some of the valve train apart; the easiest way to find out if there are bent valves, would be too time the engine and stick a new belt on. Cross your fingers and try starting it; you’ll only loose the cost of the belt and your time?
Don’t worry about the water pump (unless it was the cause of the belt breaking), until you’ve proven the engine is still ok; you can always take it back apart to do the pump later?

Like I said you would have to remove some of the valve train components to allow all the valves to be closed and then apply air pressure to the cylinders through the spark plug holes. If there was a large amount of air escaping into the intake manifold or exhaust manifold, you would know that there is bent valve(s).
By the time you got all that apart, ie: the camshaft and or rocker arms off you’d be able to have a new belt on and just try the thing.
Yes there are specific marks and procedures to go through to timing an engine and installing the belt.
It’s not real hard to do but it needs to be done properly the first time or you will bend valves.
The best advice I can give you, is to buy some time on Mitchell on demand or all-data repair manual web sites. Read up on the procedures and print off all the information and diagrams they have to offer.
I’m not sure because we don’t have auto zone here in Canada and I have my own manuals but I’ve seen some of the regular people here post links to their site and it was good repair information.
Hey guys, is there a link to auto zone to help this person out?
I would help you out with my info but the RCMP (Mounties) get a little upset when you disregard copyright laws. LOL

Thanks Dan. I see what you mean I guess I will just try my luck and throw on a belt and see what happens. Now my next task is to find a repair manual for the sportage. Again thanks for your time I do appreciate it
