Psych0matt Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 So, I was headed out to meet up with CrazyK, and I get a block from the house and something starts knocking pretty bad. it sounds like its coming from the power steering pump area, but i took off the acc. belt and everything spins fine, and i took off both t-belt covers and everything is good there. it bogs the engine a little, but everything else is still fine. what else should I look for?

Psych0matt Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 good news, it looks like my t-belt is loose and floppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 broken tensioner/actuator? thats what happened to me years ago. nothing wrong with the belt, but the actuator for the tensioner broke and made it flop around and jump time.

Psych0matt Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 yep, thats what it is. sucks because this tensioner is less than 3 months old. oh well, at least I'm good at doing timing belts now. got it tore down in about a half hour, once i find this part (if i can tonight) bout another half hour to put it together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 booh, so its running, but one of the front two cams is off by a tooth, and im not sure about the back, so it's running, but not very powerful, and it'll probably eat through gas. if im up early enough in the morning (which I might make myself be) then I'll tear it back down and retime it... again!
