Rechecked everything today just to make sure everything was still tight (which it was) but I’ve noticed the arrow is no longer within tolerance in the cut out on the tensioner. Is this normal that it moves from where it was originally when the tensioner was tightened down? I ran it for 15 mins last night doing the coolant so I’m guessing it might have just stretched a bit now in use. I’m not sure if I should reset it to the original position. First one I’ve ever done that’s why I took the cover off to recheck everything 😅 Many thanks

@2010sooty Жыл бұрын

I’m checking at the same position as set with the pins in.

@2010sooty Жыл бұрын

Just found reference saying should be within 2mm of normal position after 4 rotations. It’s 2mm out of the “window” to the left. It’s had about 15000 Revolutions so should be ok by the looks of it 😅 Belt tension feels good by hand. Such a stressful thing the first time but only took 20 mins to get the cover off to check. Well worth it for peace of mind. Hopefully my comment will help someone in a similar position anyway. Cheers

Just keep thing on it's place and mark the positions, tork it to spec and job is done. I need to service my belt so thanks to your video I'm confident i can replicate the steps you showed.

Good video. I used the belt marks and the timing was totally off and it wouldn’t start. Moved the crank gear back anti-clockwise one tooth and it runs but not as much power… arguably confused. Used dowels on the cam sprockets. Used a locking pin on the flywheel. Trying to index flywheel different positions but there’s only one where it will run and just don’t seem to have the same power even though it runs really well.

This will probably sound stupid as i know nothing about mechanics. The timing belt looks like it has teeth which are all the same size and its a round belt, so my question is why does it matter what position the pully wheels are in when the belt is fitting, like when the engine stops does those wheels stop in the exact same place every time.
