BGB420 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 i have an 87 gl wagon 1800 non turbo. the tensioner on the left timing belt went out. i pulled everything apart and replaced the broken stuff. Now I have the crank set to top dead center and the right cam mark is lined up with the notch. Now when i set the mark on the left cam pulley the rotor on the distibutor is not in the #1 position. If I put the rotor in the 1 spot the hole in the pulley is down and to the left. Is this ok or did I realy fu$k my car up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 relax, these engines are non-interferance, so you can't break valves by doing the timing belts wrong To save from typing it again, here's the procedure to replace the belts. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showpost.php?p=308921&postcount=2 sounds like you used the TDC mark on the flywheel instead of the three dashes - a common mistake. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Would this be the appropriate article for an EA82T as well? Yes, pretty much the same for all of the EA82s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
