Isuzu Repair: Replace Timing Belt, timing belt tensioner, 2001 isuzu rodeo

Question
I am a mechanic and i have never replace the timing  belt on my vehicle what are some little tips that i need to know before i get started. The vehicle is a 2001 Isuzu rodeo V6 3.2 engine.

Answer
Well Isaac this 3.2 engine is an interference type engine and has a hydraulic type timing belt tensioner which needs a special tool to remove I believe. The difference is either a SOHC or DOHC type engine. I assume you have a DOHC though. If you know what your doing and know the vehicle is not out of time at all then it should be simple enough. Although the belt is a pain to get to. The water pump and I believe the oil pump is driven by the timing belt as well if I am not mistaken Isaac. I am sorry for the delay.
