Timing belt broke on 99 Forester SOHC 2.5. Replaced everything and now hard to start and rough idle. Cams and valves turn very smoothly and crank also. Belt did not match timing marks exactly. How do I reset the timing correctly ?
The timning belt broke on our 1999 Forester 2.5 SOHC EJ25. Replaced all idlers tensioner water pump and belt. Car cranks slowly and then idles very rough, then stalls after warming up. Any ideas ? Heads and valves move smmothly and pistons are OK.
