After reading up on timing belt changes, watching the OOF DVD a few times and gathering tools, I thought I was all set. Then I got to the step about locking the cams at TDC and things didn't seem to be adding up.
The crank locking tool was on and engaged against the water pump. Cams 3 and 4 were sort of nearly aligned, really just a smidge out. But cams 1 and 2 are out, seemingly a tooth out. The other thing I noticed was that as I turned the crank over, although the tensioner pulley was rotating, there was absolutely no movement of the tensioner itself, like I'd seen in the DVD.
Different to expected = step back and ask for help
Is it something like the old tensioner's stopped tensioning the belt, and it's jumped a tooth on just those left-hand cams? Is that a thing, as opposed to all four jumping? Or something else?
More importantly, what do I need to do now to sort it out ? I've left it as is and just closed the garage door for now...
At least this seems much easier without a car in the way
Cams 3 and 4 ...
Cams 1 and 2 ...
