why keep fireback when i repair timing belt.


Recommended Posts

ya, i does replace timing belt and went good for many time. I've been watch milesfox on youtube, ondeamnd5 and USMB too.

 

one day..somehow, I notice my friend's friend car have EA82 ohc, have fireback but wont starting..

i find it out, there have one broke bolt from outer's damper (maybe bad bolt)...so, I try to a little tight on one bolt than two bolt. but passage camshaft sprocket's not even stay straight up when I after 360 deg flywheel from inner belt, inner belt is good and easy installed than outer belt. I have been try for hour & hour...it's not easy than my before.

I did very near .5 teeth of sprocket's passage straight up but still fire-back.

 

honestly, i cant remove damper's bolt.... it's on the engine...i dont think if he happy when i didn't workout w their car..

should i call napa for remove bolt or what?

that tensioner is definitely the problem with its broken bolt. hopefully you can get it out with a left hand drill bit.

 

install the belt on the bottom side of the cam pulley, and once the tensioner can take up the slack, the notch should be aligned with the cam. It is critical you put the belt on the cam sprocket opposite side of the tensinor so that the tooth alignment is true with the crank sprocket.

 

If you are going without timing belt covers, you can leave the crank damper in place.

 

If you cannot get it off, just break away the middle timing belt cover, as that part is more pain in the arse to work around than it is beneficial to leave it in place.
