Loyale93v Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 ok, so...i have removed everything, including the faulty no. 2 toothed idler pulley. so now for the install. the automatic tensioner has been removed. is there a trick to re-installing it?( it doesn't seem to want to compress up wards) secondly and to me most importantly, the the left and right camshaft sprocket are out of alignment. the alignment mark should be @ 12 o'clock and the piston position mark should be @ 1 o'clock(the little arrow on cam sprocket) correct? is there a certain way to lign both sides up prior to belt install?? Or is it just as simple as rotateing the cam sprocket clockwise by hand until they are in alignment?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinthe202 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Which engine? Check through the threads of the last few days. The links to T-belt "how-to" articles were just posted in one of them. Also try a search. Use the "advanced" search option to narrow things down. Good Luck Will- EDIT*** Oops! Just saw you had the type of engine in the title. Sorry, still check the recent threads, the 2.2L t-belt was just talked about as it has been many many many times in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Do not use the arrows for timing!!!!!!! It is the hash marks. The tensioner must be compressed vvvvverrryyy slowly like taking 10 minutes ie in a vise on the earlier style that have if you have a '93, but you said 'upwards' whcih wsould be the later tensioner sytle. If so it must be compressed vertically (not in a vise) again veryyyyyy slowly or you will kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
