!!!!!UPDATE!!!!! IT IS NOT FOOKED

Had james who is a top bloke let loose on my issues and seriously an hour and half later the car is running a dream (ven better than before)

ANYONE who want the cambelt done on their car i HIGHLY reccomend JamesV6CDX and his magic hands 🙌

Im sure he will be along shortly to explain the tech terms but i am one happy customer

Thanks James Spot on 👌👌🤝🤝👍👍

Ideal for parts or a long term project if your feeling brave to diy on your drive  Those seats would be worth a bob or two being the superior mv 

Wheels maybe but the shell i think is too far gone

Mmmmmmm i think it may of been attacked BUT useful for parts

Still planning to come over but just thinking this over - how did you end up 180 out?

One and only reason for asking is I'm thinking about likelihood of valves damage

I will bring compression tester

Guessing that he set to TDC on the exhaust stroke instead of TDC on the compression stroke. 

Now you're muddling me. There is a TDC crank position for exhaust stroke and power stroke. Which stroke it is on depends upon the position of the cams. If you set the camshafts with the pulley marks aligned with the backplate marks and the crank pulley aligned with its line marker you can't be wrong. The cam sensor will tell the ECU which stroke it's on, and fire and inject accordingly.

So out by 360 degrees is not out at all. Out by 180 degrees  is bad news, but means having cams set to markers with crank line set the top, very careless.

Am I muddled?

Good question well presented would be intrested to know

Should be fine to come over tues. I can't wave a magic wand without seeing but I can guarantee either a fix or a diagnosis of valve damage. It will be one or the other.

Price wise £50 to cover fuel and the obligatory travel lattes will cover the diagnosis and correction of the belt setup

Iv heard you are the man that can

Makes no sense to me squire... the belt pulls the sprockets round not t'other way round. If the belt ain't moderately tight it don't pull the sprocket. 

Sorry, didn't explain very well. This is what I actually meant:

I suspect that on a lot of these jobs the mistake is lack of belt tautness between the crankshaft and the exhaust cam No.2 when installing the belt anti-clockwise from crankshaft to cam 2. This side of the cam belt has no adjustment so if the very first stage is wrong it will all go to pot after that, regardless of how good the initial set up was. As there is only an idler on that side, once any slack is introduced between cam 2 and the crank, the crank will take up that slack when turned so you will already be looking at up to a tooth out. Cam 1 is not such an issue as the adjuster will tension the belt on that side.

As James said, the concern is what occurred prior to you getting it running.    Hopefully any updates will be positive ones. 

This is the exact mistacke thats been made here  i hope so

Good to see you have James on board now, he knows what he's at so you are in good hands.

I hope so i really do i know i have chosen right with JamesV6CDX and his magic hands 🙌👏

You will never regret it - James is ACE! How do I know? He did mine and his attention to detail is beyond reproach; he's a great bloke, too.
James, if you happen to read this, TAKE IT EASY! 

Ron.

Yeah, looking at that picture, the left cam looks like the mark is in line with the timing mark on the block, but it shouldn't, because the camera is not bang in front of the cam. I would say that the cam should be half a tooth anti clockwise.

This would also explain the slop in the belt between the cams. My guess is the tensioner isn't set correctly to pull the slop out.

Glad you have James coming over. By all accounts he's a mechanical whizz and a top guy to boot.

Thank you guys i dont think i have made a bad decision (apart from rushing to do it myself) it is being left for James magic hands  🙌🤞👍

Do you mean the large one that the aux belt goes round as there are 4 7/8mm bolts that can be undone that release the pully

Done more of these cambelts and top end v6 rebuilds than I care to remember - I will gladly take a trip over for the cost of fuel and a small contribution to my "fix the beemer" fund

We are in talks now guys and looks like JamesV6CDX will be over to help sort it tuesday TO WORK HIS MAGIC

JamesV6CDX I very much appreciate it it is now running after a mate of mine come over and give me a hand it was 180* out timing wise so started from scratch and although its running the best way i can discribe is it sounds like a diesel with the belt vibrating on top between the cams but is taught everywhere else  any ideas

Is there a piece of crap stuck between the teeth in one of the cam pulleys?

Did not see anything i dont think there was

Is the spring tensioner set correctly? I can't see the spring tensioner clearly enough to tell in your photo.

I followed autodata to a t to tension belt! It only pulls back when at low speeds or pedal released
