Hi, a short update and a couple of questions, if I may.
Heads on, camshafts etc. installed, sprockets on and tensioner & idlers on. I've fitted the belt - right way round - and lined up the belt lines as accurately as I can with the the backplate and sprocket marks.
So this is a Y26SE, and the lower idler is not adjustable. The upper one was installed at 11 o'clock then moved to 9, and the tensioner is at 1.5mm above the reference mark. I've NOT turned the engine by two revolutions yet.
My concern is this: the double line mark on the belt does not align with the TDC notches on the engine and the crankshaft pulley, which is spot-on at 6 o'clock. The belt lines are a little up towards the tensioner.
So my questions are:
1. Should I be concerned about this given that everything else looks (to me anyway) to be correct? Even using the gauge on the 1/2 and 3/4 sprockets shows them bang on.
2. Does everything else look OK before I rotate the engine? In particular the 3/4 belt lines don't quite line up with the sprocket lines. If I were to move the belt to the left by one tooth, then it would be slightly out in the other direction.
A couple of pix will show where I'm at.
