timimg belt

[maitai69691]

ok im finishing up on full rebuild. well just finished installing the timing belt after turning over the ENG by HAND about 8-10 rotations the belt moves from the center of the cam gears to the back of the cam gears.

So i thought maby my belt tentioner was bad so i replaced it TQ every thing down and no change. Its not causing and binding that i can tell just dont want it to rub on any thing and wear...would like to fix it if there is any problem befor I in stall the ENG...will post pic soon

Did you put the Crank timing pulley facing the right way?

Also do NOT exceed the TRSM Spec for the tensioner bolt.

yes it got put on the right way and TQ to spec i checked both a couple times...its not rubing or any thing jsut didnt think it would move that mouch...

Shouldn't move at all, there's something wrong do NOT proceed...

Crank timing pulley has the guides for the belt, they can and do break off. Have to replace the pulley to fix it.

At this point a video and demonstration of what is happening would be best.

If its sliding off you have a problem if its just moving more towards the rear likely not. The belt will go where it wants to go. As long as its not falling off.

Bottom pully is crowned to keep it running centre, if it's moving around again something is NOT RIGHT...

I'd like to see a pic of the lower pully installed, also need to fit a fresh tensioner spring on old engines and ONLY use it's tension to set the belt, a lot of people will lever the tensioner then pull the bolt down this will make the belt wander..
