Re: Toms Project...
Ok, so i managed to sum up the whole cars life within the first 24 hours of it driving.
First was being pulled over within the first 2 hours of it driving. Then i took it to work and went on lunch, came back and it was running fine.
Got off of work and the fucker wouldnt start. I checked everything. Was getting spark, had gas, fuel pressure, and the pistons were wet. Then i looked at the timing, WAY THE FUCK OFF. I dont know how this could have happened but it was running fine when i shut it off. But anyways, it was towed home. So today i have to get a timing belt and tensioner.
Fucking dsms.

Re: Toms Project...
How did you go about setting the TB? Did you use the drill bit method? That works the best for me.
Sorry man, that really sucks.

Re: Toms Project...
I did it when i had the motor out.
I lined up the crank at 10 BTDC, lined up the cam gears and oil pump gear. I pushed the tensioner in with a vise and dropped an allen wrench in the hole. Then installed that and pulled the pin after i had the belt on. it was dead on 10 btdc when i installed the motor and made sure it was. Im thinking it was either a faulty tensioner that just gave out or it was a bad belt. I am just hoping i didnt bend any valves.
What is the easiest way of checking the valves without pulling off the head?

Re: Toms Project...
Compression check is a easy way. Or the only way I can think of. Good luck man I hope you did not bend any valves.

Re: Toms Project...
How did you adjust the tensioner pulley? Did you adjust the tensioner pulley?

Yes, but you need to torque the cammed tensioner wheel at the same time as tightening it, THEN pull the pin on the auto tensioner.

Re: Toms Project...
You need to torque the tensioner pulley to so many inch lbs also. Good thing you motor isnt toast!

I wouldn't go that far, it very well might be. Tom, how far off were the marks? Why didn't you at least read the VFAQ? It is free! I hope you got lucky and it is ok, but if it wouldn't start, then chances are you at least have bent valves.

Re: Toms Project...
Maybe 30 degrees or so.
I basically made sure the belt was tight but not too tight.
When i was trying to start the car it was not backfireing like it usually does when the timing is off.

Re: Toms Project...
Rut-roh... That sounds like at least 2 teeth and at 2 teeth the valves are usually goners.

Re: Toms Project...
well im crossing my fingers on this one. i remember when looking down the spark plug holes i didnt see any damage to the pistons.
In looking at the vfaq i did not use the torque tool, on the tensioner pully. i just figured that there was a auto tensioner for a reason, to AUTO tension the belt.

Re: Toms Project...
It is a hydraulic tensioner, not an auto tensioner. It will take up slack as the belt wears, but it needs to start in the correct position.
