I'm in the process of changing the timing belt and cam seal. I just recently did this on my '84 245 and it was a snap.
Not so the B230FD. What's this nonsense about removing the starter?
I was looking for an alternative method for locking the crank to remove the bolt. Scoured the FAQ, but saw nothing about jamming a screwdriver in the intermediate sprocket/pulley and use the old timing belt to hold things. Now I know why this is not a recommended way to do this. When I tried this, I could hear one 'click' that sounded a lot like a sprocket jumping one tooth. I'm assuming it was just the intermediate one that jumped. That doesn't worry me, but if it was the crank sprocket that jumped, will it harm the engine to attempt to start it? I plan to put it all together tomorrow so it can be driven while I wait for the special tool from IPD, but I don't want to take a chance on damaging the engine.
Am I being too careful or not careful enough?
Thanks,
Mark
