Omega General Help / Re: Issue with timing belt marks
« on: 18 April 2023, 13:11:43 »
For the belts with two sets of marks. The white marks are for engines where the lower idler roller is immediately above the crank pulley. For later engines with the lower roller slightly higher and offset towards the nearside, you would use the yellow marks. Usually the belts have double yellow crank marks and single yellow crank marks for cam sprockets 1 and 2, so for the later engines you would use the yellow marks and the remaining white marks for cams 3 and 4. There shouldn't be yellow marks for cams 3 and 4 on the belt, so it's important to observe the correct rotation when mounting the belt.

Usually the later engines have a lower idler pulley without eccentric adjustment. The earlier engines do have the eccentric adjustment for the lower idler pully. Given that Gates part number XS035453XS is being fitted then it should include a new non-eccentric idler roller and the required screw.

Regardless of the engine type or the backplate and tensioner and idlers that are fitted then all the belts have the same construction, length, tooth pitch and number of teeth. Just that old stock belts might not have any yellow marks.

In any event you don't need the marks on the belt and probably shouldn't rely on them. Rely on the timing gauge.

Survey done. I remember my daughter creating a survey when she was a student. Can't remember what the survey was about.

Seems to be a curious beast. The car looks to be a Chevrolet Omega made in Brazil, the first generation of which were manufactured until 1998 and were based on the Omega A. Unless I'm mistaken it has a 4.1L straight six Chevrolet engine. And also uses the Bosch Motronic 2.8.1 ECU used on the V6 Omega B, not the earlier version used on the 6 pot Carlton and Senators. And it has an ALDL diagnostic port.

It's not a standard spline. The socket needed to remove the backplate bolts in the photograph is an M10 XZN bit. This is also known as an M10 triple-square bit. Usually you need an extra long bit so you can reach through the access hole in the hub, doesn't seem to apply here. There's a Facom one here. Clean out the bolt heads with a fine wire brush and then soak with shock and unlock or similar.

The Vauxhall/Opel TIS says to loosen the bolts and pull the backplate forward to make room to insert the new style pins from the backside. As per cam.in.head's post above I repaired a pulled through backplate slot by welding on one of the mating slotted washers from the new style pin kits.

Try to repair the backplates as you'll struggle to find new ones.
