O.k. guy's, I could do with some info here please. Before I start, this is on my 2.0L - 16v X20XEV engine. I've only this morning got round to changing the cam belt kit, removal of old and install of new went o.k.(I think).
I've got it back together, and set the tensioner, and everything is tightened up as it should be. Firstly, whilst turning the engine via the crankshaft pulley centre bolt, whilst there is compression, the timing belt is taught all round, but when I turn it and reach the point where it's pretty effortless to turn, there becomes a little slack in the belt, this is at the right hand side, the left side remains tight, but at the right hand side becomes slacker, to the extent that I could finger pull the belt off the right roller, but again, when there's compression, the belt tightens up all round again.
Also, whilst again, turning the engine via the crankshaft pulley, whilst it's turning, the pointer on the tensioner moves from left to right, is this normal ? or should it remain at the new belt mark where I first set it ?
Cheers Guy's
