Tosh Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 so I just went to put on my timing belts. the tensioners where perfect lined up just right with the old ones wham bam thank you mam. Idler went on no problem... BUT when I went to put the belts on my larger drivers side belt is on somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 inches to long and my smaller passenger side belt is oh about 6 inches to short. I am running them correctly, well I'm 99% sure I am. Even if i wasn't the smaller belt is to short to even go straight from the crank to the cam gear on both sides. I do believe I've been screwed fokes. I bought my kit from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986-1994-Subaru-1-8-GL-DL-Loyale-Timing-Belt-Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33625QQitemZ8075637336QQrdZ1 them thats the exact auction I got it from and yes they will be receiving a call from me at 10 am tomorrow. I mean what If I had just bought the kit as an emergency replacement for just incase if one broke while I was up snowboarding I would be royal F'ed. pardon my rant I'm just a little bit miffed.

Numbchux Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm fairly certain that's the exact same source I got my set from.....I had no problems.... sorry to hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 yea there is NO possible way that these belts are for the EA82 they don't even fit the guides. I'm gonna call the company tomorrow they are just over in Yakima and hopefully I'll get some new ones out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 I hope so. I'm still pretty miffed cause this just killed any chance of me having the wagon running by saturday night (it was a slim chance but I had one damnit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
