Yes it is so. either way each time I replace a timing belt I also recommend the customer to replace the water pump and front engine seals. Other things on 100,000+ trucks Radiator gets leaves and chafe blow or wash it out back to front. Thermostat top and bottom hoses any drive belts idlers I know it is expensive. Never reuse an old timing belt always set the proper tension one time. Nissan Timing belts have dotted line to line up passengers side cam sprocket and two solid lines for the drivers side cam sprocket and crankshaft marks to line up. That makes it so much easier. Good Luck
