Re: 83 Ur-Q - No Spark - Timing

["John C." <jvcingwe@infinitecom.com>]

Thanks Dave:

They apparently now believe that the timing is off and suspect that the cam
belt may have jumped a few teeth.  They have got it running, but as yet
poorly.

If the timing belt needs to be replaced, is there any other preventive
maintenance that should be taken care of while it is open.  I seem to
remember that the oil or water pump is removed during this process?
