I'm going to ignore that redneck remark, and ask you instead - what is the recommended timing belt replacement interval, and also where are you finding that recommendation - because the FSM does not have one.

Sky - you're right - the water pump pulley is against the timing belt cover and has to be removed, my son was out with the car last night so I was going from memory.

I use alldatapro, under 60k it requires replacing the timing belt in normal and severe operating conditions.  If unfamiliar with alldata it is a photo copy of FSM and factory maintaince guides.  Most brand new cars come with a maintaince guide "hints where they tell you how often to change your oil,"  I am NOT familair if Suzukis came with it in the glove box when you first purchase the vehicle or not but they have to offer a maintaince guide somewhere.  Have you seen any other place it recommends it? 

P.s.  I do apologize about the redneck comment, I do not know you and have no grounds in defining you. 

And most PO keep or throw away owners manual and maint. guides.

So this is pretty funny.  When I got to work, I headed for my Autodata Timing belt book 06Edition:  In all Samurai and Sidekick years it states that the 1.3L is a interference engine with most likely cause of piston/valve contact.  I wasn't convinced and went to the back of the book to read it's disclaimers.  In fine print |removethispart|@ the bottome of the page, it reads:  "Although the information contained within this volume has been obtained from sources generally thought to be reliable, no warranty can be made as to its accuracy or completeness, nor is any responsibility assumed by Autodata Publications Inc.  Piece of shit, I paid good money from Matco for this info. 

Anyways, I called Suzuki Tech Hotline and the dude told me it IS NOT INTEFERENCE or freewheeling, whatever you want to call it.  Though I replace my t-belt on time, I do not have any experience in running it till it breaks and finding out the hard way, I choose to error on the caution side.  My zuk means more to me then most other things and I will not risk anything.  The only explination I can think of is most places I gathered my info was more then likely connected to some sort of parts company, in hopes of making a extra buck of someone!  I do apologize for any misleading info/headache I may have caused.
