Given it was related to the camshaft belt tension, wonder if it actually had a reason to do it on THAT place in specific? I mean you turn the engine one way or another, but the forces applied are way different.

@highlypolishedturd7947 3 жыл бұрын

An old school mechanic gave me some advice... Any time you play with timing, once it's back together, turn the engine over BY HAND with a wrench or socket at least a couple of times. Why? If you screwed something up, the engine will jam up, stopping you from turning by hand. If you feel it binding up, STOP, reverse the wrench slightly, and investigate. At this point, you probably haven't damaged anything. Valve stems are so small and fine, and will bend easily. Turning over an engine with the starter can and probably will break things. Turning over by hand is much less likely to hurt things.

@@the_undead I honestly don't know if rotating it backwards would matter. In either case, make sure the crank has done two full rotations, that way you know the cam has gone one full rotation.

If you get it wrong, it could be a very expensive oops.

@@XH1927 Time bombs as in valve/piston interference is needed to optimize exhaust and efficiency On belts: they're cheap, light and silent. Belt tension has a wide tolerance, and is high enough to prevent slapping. (compared to chain solutions) Chains can be more reliable, but add extra weight and lubrication issues (oil sealed cover). The chain tension equipment needs precision and dampening to prevent chain-slap when going from acceleration to deceleration. This limits the range of acceleration in the engine Gear driven overhead camshaft solutions are expensive and need solutions to minimize the introduced faults due to clearances between the gears. They're heavy, need lubrication and most often noise is an issue.

Except ToT has a metal lathe and knows how to properly use it. I bet ToT and Abom79 would cringe if they saw his "lathe technique" :)

6 hours if you stop for cones every half hour. Oh no.. You need to set the crank to TDC before removing the covers. Then locate (highlight them with whiteout if necessary) the timing marks on the crank & cam cogs/gears/pulleys. Locate the timing marks on the crankcase/head/wherever. turn the crank until the marks on the pulleys align with the marks on the crankcase etc. The marks you make yourself CAN NOT be relied on. Remove the timing belt. Replace any other things needed (water pump, idler pulleys, tensioner whatever). Check that the crank and cam pulleys marks align with their corresponding marks on the crankcase/head/wherever. Refit new timing belt. Tension accordingly. Turn crankshaft through two full turns and align the crank pulley with it's timing marks. Look at the cam pulley and check that it aligns with IT'S timing marks. If it does you're OK. Carry on reassembly. If the cam pulley timing marks do NOT align you've messed up. Remove timing belt and try again. You need thin wall plug sockets. Or you could do .... that. A metric micrometer (for measuring brake rotors) shouldn't cost more than $35. If you're going to be doing a lot of this sort of stuff you'll need two. One 0-25mm. one 25-50mm. Don't get a vernier caliper, that's not the correct tool. Don't get an electronic/digital unit.. they're flimsy and crap.
