the factory service manual has them. I believe someone has uploaded to the 4c Cloud hereIs there a list of torque settings when putting everything back together? Plan to tackle this over the holiday break.

Greetings jamiealfa! I'm new to the forum and thinking about getting a 2015 LE from an original owner. Can the timing belt be visually inspected? From the replacement instructions it certainly doesn't look like it can. Also, is this an interference engine? Thanks!
Elite Performance in San Mateo has been mentioned in other discussions. I have not personally dealt with them, so I'm just passing along a second hand recommendation. Perhaps try searching with that shop name and you may find others. I'm in SF but planning to do it myself.Hats off to you folks tackling the timing belt replacement yourselves. I need to find a honest shop. I remember previous discussion threads included some San Francisco Bay Area 4C-owners recommending a couple independent shops on the peninsula. I’m hoping those owners are out there reading this and can jump in on this and send shop suggestions, again. Bear with me as I’ll post this same message on more than one thread on this subject.
Followed their recommendations when doing mine last weekend. Only that you have to rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees if the cam locking tools don't fit, not the 180 stated, and also be prepared for some oil to come out of the camshaft bolt cover caps when you unscrew them as they are o ringed and you need to have a rag ready to stop oil dropping down onto other components that won't be replaced. Oil and cambelts don't mix. Hope that this helps, it's a fiddly process and you will need a reasonable amount of mechanical ability and the required tools including the absolutely necessary locking tools.
