quick - timing belt tensioner tool?

[s1ngletracker]

Just found out my timing belt skipped a tooth, and I'm supposed to do the autox novice clinic this weekend. Trying to get my belt job done ASAP, does someone have one I can borrow for a night?

I'm part-owner of an AMS one that happens to be sitting over at Scheides' house. If you promise to bring it back right away I'm sure he'd let you swing over and pick it up :)

I used two nails and a prybar to tighten the tensioner pulley, no need for a tool. Haha, and that was my first time doing a timing belt job with the motor in the car.

Which tool is it that you need? The long rod bolt one or the one Andrew just described?

Shoot Scheides a PM if the rod tool is the one you need.

rod tool. Thanks Kracka.

Question - if my car isn't done by tomorrow... is it worth still going to the classroom session and then just watching the autox?

[Kracka]

You don't need your car until Sunday so if its not ready for tomorrow thats fine. If you can't run your car, find another you can run. Any friends taking the course? You're allowed to share cars.

[asshanson]

Yea just grab a friend's car. Though it's best to have yours obviously so you can learn your car better.

Dunno how many friends want me tossing their car around an autox track. Probably won't race if i dont have my car running.
