Re: Can I move the timing belt a notch without teardown? 200 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Zee on  Thu May 3 19:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Boy! Am I gald you asked that!

While I had the top cover off when replacing a water pump the other day, I noticed my belt had slippet about 8"......

The Contitech belt I put on 20K ago has alignment lines on it. I am sure I used these to match up with the timing markd onthe sprockets. Now I see the top sprocket timing mark is half way between two single lines on the belt!

I seem to remember, though, it is the pointing of the marks on the sprockets relative each other that's critical, not the lines of the belts.

nevertheless, I did gfigure that the belt had slipped. And this even though I did the 500-600 mile retensioning.

Come to think of it, my valves are clattering oudly, too!
