scatgo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The part that don"t sound right is that they suggest a fraction of a tooth. 46.8 for Z1? Should I just round that off to 47 or am I not getting something here? If the original marks on the timing belt are worn or faded, make new alignment marks in the positions indicated-1998-2004. Make alignment and/or arrow marks on the timing belt in relation to the sprockets as indicated in the accompanying illustration.Z1: 46.8 tooth length Z2: 43.7 tooth length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 i don't think those numbers are right. iirc, one side is a whole number, and the other side is a half. so instead of the mark being on the tooth, it is on the valley, or vice versa. but it has been a while since i did one. what year, engine?

nicholi2789 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 When I did my belt a month ago, no matter what I did one side was half a tooth off. No matter how I routed it or whatever it always ended up that way and it made the timing mark on one side off by just a half tooth. What I ended up doing was making it so that when I pulled the tensioner pin it would pull it back and they ended up in line. So maybe these numbers are right?

Fairtax4me Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Should be Z1: 44 Z2: 40.5 The spec you found on google looks like its for 05 and later 2.5 with the AVCS heads. Those are wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
