I am thinking no because I did not install the tensioner spring until after everything was bolted including the tensioner. Maybe a dumb question but is it tensioner supposedto float back and forth and let the spring keep the tension? I'm wondering that because i really didn't find any solid...

bump

I am thinking wastegate or maybe a coupler/connection for your intake system. you can check the wastegate by blowing into the vaccuum line that goes into the wastegate.

so am i supposed to wrench the tension pulley assy as tight as can be? it seems like 40 ft lbs is a bit light but maybe it is supposed to have some movement for belt deflection?

the rubber does not go the whole length on the spring i replaced or the two that i just ordered. it only goes about 1/2 way down it.

I remembered to tighten it. The only thing I found about the tensioner was to torque it down to about 40 ft. Lbs. Which seems like nothing.

after doing a new timing belt i correctly setting the timing but it runs for a few seconds and skips timing. the spring on the tensioner stretches toward the fire wall, stalls the car. any ideas? these are before and after photos. a video will be on you tube shortly.

BUMP............I should state that i am not 100% positive it is a valve issue. It might just be a seal problem.

Like the title says, i have a MSP Head for sale. I bought this from another member a while ago and he "forgot" to inform me that there was an issue with one of the valves. He said there was a chip in the valve but i found that the exhaust valves are probably bent. I don't have the time or...

but have you reshimmed or done valve work with the head still on? i am just trying to avoid removing it. yup, royal oak. basically 13 and campbell if you know those crossroads.

i have read around on "how to" change valve seals/valve springs without removing the head with either jamming a rope or by buying a special fitting and putting pressure in the cylinders to stop the valve from falling. my question is has anyone ever done this on their MSP? another thing is i dont...

10 mm. good luck man....

quick pic of engine bay?

great! just what i wanted to hear. "pull the head" this will be the 4th time. i guess its my fault, i assumed i received a working/no issue head. still no answere from the forum member who sold it to me.

#3 has oil and no compression. 1, 2 and 4 had from 125 to 135 psi. and yes, i looked down after pulling the plug to see if i was having coil issues to find oil on the top of the piston. i just replaced all gaskets related to doing a head gasket along with studs and timing belt. i assumed the...

thanks, i might still need one, i bought one from another member and installed it to now have oil on my piston which is causing a misfire. i think he sold me junk but waiting to hear his response/excuse!
