rickyhils Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Yesterday I noticed that the right side tb is riding a little closer back. It's not rubbing against the cover but you can see the shiny wear pattern that is more centered . I just put a new tb kit on yesterday. I have successfully changed my 1991 Loyale EA82 timing belts 3 or 4 times the past 10 years or so and all was good. UPDATE *** I just read previous posts on same subject. Will check belt tensioner. FWIW. Last tb kit was Japan. This time from ITM (gotta be from China) Edited August 16, 2018 by rickyhils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I once had one tracking like that. Flipped the belt, and it went to the old path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 One edge of the belt could be slightly shorter than the other forming a taper. Might've been out of alignment when ends were bonded. "Might" just stretch to shape later. Mi(gh)te is a small irritating insect. ;^) +1 for what Dave T said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyhils Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Will consider reversing it as tensioner not the cause. Edited August 17, 2018 by rickyhils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
