I read in a manual that some engines do not require you to remove the timing belt when you change the headgasket. Is this true for a 2.0 SOHC?

vaccume lines are a big big deal on the 1 and 2 g's check the 2 lines that go to the egr valve behind the throttlebody and for the lag in starting iam say cam senser check it clean it it controlles the injectors and wont let them come on if it dont reat the cam is turning

tdc @ 1cyl. cam shaft has triangle stamp mark on face of the gear.both valves for # 1 should be closed in compression stroke and triangle should be pointing at left side top of head(9 o'clock) on the silent shaft and oil pump pulleys both marks must align with each other , use a metal rule for a straight edge.it would be wise to purchase a haynes manuel for your vehicle.this manuel gives you illustrations and step procedures to align all components on your g63b engine ....chris

timing chain when you get a variance in timing easy to see with a timing light haynes manual should be sufficient

out of time will not cause it not to turn over check batt and starter 1st
SOURCE: stearing box oil was leaking
The steering box oil leak and the timing belt problem may or may not be related. Oil will deteriorate belts. Timing belts should be changed from about 60,000 to 80,000 max. Most people neglect changing there timing belt (yours was probably over due). The overhead cam performance, inexpensive price of the automobile, and the room to have a larger motor in a smaller car all hinge on the timing belt design that you benefit from. The only down fall of this design is the fact that in higher performance versions of this engine , if the timing belt breaks the pistons will hit and bend/break the overhead valves. That is why manufacturers give you a breakdown of when you should be performing scheduled maintenance in your owners manual or warranty manual. Depending on the cost of the repair sometimes it is cheaper to replace the head with a complete assembly from a salvage yard than pay some one to rebuild the one you have . If your funds are limited I would price the repair both ways. A used head assembly might be less than the cost of the valves. your sweat equity can save you money.
