JC20 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Could someone please take a look at my timing marks in order to verify.I think left side (driver side) is just a touch off,but I can't seem to get it any closer without moving the other two. Any suggestions? Or is this good? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 look good to me and I have done several. pull the tensioner pin and fire it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The LH sprocket will likely roll back just slightly to be right on the mark when the tensioner pin is pulled, at least that's how it's been on the ones I've done. An important thing is the belt marks are lining up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yep, your good. Pull the tensioner pin and turn it over manually 4 times, making sure everything is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC20 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 So I pulled the pin rotated the engine and left side hash mark is still off. I figure this still ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Lucky Texan Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) is there a tooth count for this engine? I had a situation with a different engine where everything, including toohcounts, was dead-on, but the LS cam was just a little 'tight'. like, almost exactly 1/2 tooth. Any change I could have made would have altered the toothcount AND missed the marks on the belt. I called it good enough.

Fairtax4me Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Perfecto! The left side is often half a tooth either side of the mark in the cover. In this situation you want to advance the cam slightly clockwise. As the belt ages and stretches the difference will be made up. Fire it up!

dp213 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I just did my belt yesterday and it looked almost identical to your line up. Mine runs great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
