740 GLE - B234F

[Peter]

Hi,

I own a 1989 740 GLE with the 16 Valve (B234F) engine. With this engine,
how often should the timming belt be changed? Also is there anything else
that should be changed at the same time as the timming belt? I love this
engine and want to keep it running well.

I know a timming belt braking on the 740 16 Valve can cause a lot of damage,
I don't want that to happen.

Hi Peter, it should be changed every 50,000 miles. The balance shaft belt should
also be changed at the same intervals. They should then be checked for tension
10,000 miles after being changed.

Nice motors, responsive and powerful. Only ten horse down on turbo B230.

Cheers, Peter.
