i have it at the 3 marks. i havent pulled the other side off to see if they are opposite. i will post back in a bit when i get the other side off. thanx

i pulled the right hand side timing cover off and the mark on the camshaft sprocket is straight down. its not pointing up at the other mark. could she have got the left and right side sprockets mixed up?

is there anyway to put the pully on wrong. like turn the pully and then bolt on or what? she said when they replaced them that they lined them up and the car didnt run. they had someone come over and fix it and the lines didnt match... if u really cant mess it up as far as installing pullies wrong then i hope i can match them up.

i called the person i bought the car from and she said that her husband changed the timing belts and when they did they either put the pully on and marks didnt match up. she said not to go by the book cuz they wouldnt match. she had to have someone come to her house and fix it. so i dont know if they even come close now. what do i look at to see if they are even close? as far as over heating as soon as i get to 45 - 50 it begins to heat up. sure hope the timing belts are the prob. i took the thermostat out and it still over heated so thats not the prob. anyone been in there with the same prob or alot of info about the marks?

i have 4wd 5 speed manual. my friend has a 86 2wd 3 speed auto and he is having the same prob. got the cars from the same person so if it is the timing belts then a guess good chance that both cars have the same prob. im kinda putting the timing belts off as a last result kinda thing cuz i have to take everything off and discharge the air conditioning. so any thing else i should check before that, that isnt already listed? 65 at 3000 equals 130 at 6000... how'd u get that? im doin 3000 in 5th gear.

my ignition timing is set at 20 btdc so i know thats not it. i will check the timing belts this weekend. the person i bought the car from said they just did the water pump. i will also pull of the radiator and check it too. as far as doing 75, i get to 65 and im already doin 3000 rpm. how high can i run it with no damage. im not expecting to do 100 but i would like to keep up with traffic at 85 -90 at most. if it wouldnt over heat i could do 80 but i would be close to red line. seems the gears arent long enough. my car is 4wd so dont know if that is a major factor or not. are the turbo motor trans any longer on the gears and will they bolt right on? anyone else running with this high rpm problem?

i got a 94 loyale thats over heating at 60 mph. i have flushed the radiator and checked the thermostat and its still good. the fans are running so they are good. changed the oil and pump is also good. i didnt realize when i bought the car that it would only do 75 at most and end up over heating. anyone else with this prob or suggestions that could help both top speed and over heating probs? thanx
