Finnaly done with T-Belt
well after 3 days of hell and not being able to find the right tools here my buddy and I got my timing belt replaced! VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THIS CHANGE YOU WILL NEED A 41MM CROWS FOOT OR 41MM FAN CLUTCH WRENCH We did replace the tensioner and the serpintine belt as well, just took us a while to get the tools to get the job done, and in the process I ripped out my resinator from my intake setup maybe it's just the placebo effect, but i notice there is a little less restriction on the intake.[/b]

removing the resonator will make you feel less intake restriction indeed.

Re: Finnaly done with T-Belt
it is required to release the tension on the timing belt, I didn't actually do it myself my buddy helped me do it, but I beleive that it had something to do with the water pump to release the tension on the belt.daewooluvr wrote:What for?delphis wrote: VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THIS CHANGE YOU WILL NEED A 41MM CROWS FOOT OR 41MM FAN CLUTCH WRENCH

Aligning cam marks on Lanos
Perhaps you or your buddy could help me with aligning the marks on the cam pulleys of the Lanos engine during timing belt replacement. The question I have is that the marks do not stay aligned as the intake cam snaps back to either just before or after the mark. I can put a wrench on it and hold it into position until I get the belt on and the crankshaft mark and both the cam marks are ok but I then am unable to rotate the crankshaft more than a few degrees before reaching very strong resistance. I have removed the spark plugs so there is no compression resistance. I am concerned about forcing rotation more as it seams to be a very firm blockage. As you probably know these engines have no clearance for a valve being open when the piston is at top center and I do not want to damage the valves.
Did you experience this during your belt replacement. Please inform me if you will either way. I was just working on it today and ran into this problem. Many thanks.
