How do you get a 98 Amigo timing marks to align after the timing belt broke?In: Isuzu Amigo |
[Edit] |
This is a complex procedure, did the vehicle run after the timing belt broke. The 3.2 is an interference engine. The interpretation is that the pistons and valves may colide when the timing belt broke. If you heard a lot of noise this could be very bad.
To align, the timing marks you must remove the timing cover, turn the crankshaft by hand (do not use starter) to top dead center. (align timing marks, move crank clockwise) If you encounter much resistance you will have to move one or both of the overhead camshafts, you can't miss these are the two pullys in front of each side of the top of the engines (exposed when you take timing cover off) Sometime you have to remove the #1 spark plug to know if you are at TDC (top dead center) Timing marks align every two rotations, but can be 180 degrees off, which means if you instert a wire hanger in the spark plug hole and the hanger is deeper on one rotation of timing mark alignment then you are 180 degrees off. You want #1 pistion in its top most position. After you have TDC you may rotate you cam pully to align with the timing marks. Use a manual, this will help with the procedure.
