Are marks for timing belt close enough. pics inside
I installed my timing belt the other night. This was my first timing belt I have ever changed so be easy on me. But I had all the marks on the belt lined up to all the marks on the cams. But the intake to exhaust marks look at tad off. Are they close enough or should I try agian. Thanks

If the marks on the belt line up with the marks on the pulleys I would say you are good to go.

Turn the engine over a few times with a wrench to account for the initial belt stretch and then check the marks again. They won't line up perfectly until you do.

I tried again tonight and made sure everything was spot on then pulled the pin on the tensioner. Everything was still good. Turned the motor over 2 full rotations and I was back to the same markings as in the pic. I'm going to try this again tomorrow and be done. Hopefully. But tonight when I took off the small cover to get to the allen bolt on the drivers side intake cam, I spotted a little oil. What would cause this and is this a problem. I'm hoping maybe I just need to replace that o ring that right on top.

Just wanted to say that those timing marks are OK. I did this 3 times and everything was always lined up perfectly. Once I turned te motor a couple times with a ratchet it would always be off a bit at that mark. And I was told by my tuner that the oil there was OK(in that pic).

one side on dual over head cams is always off a little bit like that. if you have the service manual just count the teath from crank to intake and compare to the book.
There is suppose to be oil behind that little cover thats why there is an o ring there. See the hole in the bolt, that is an oil passage to the inside of the cam. |
