I just got the chance to pull this all apart and noticed the exhaust cam seal, behind the timing belt, is leaking so I figured I would replace it while I have it torn apart. I assume I can pull the timing belt gear off and replace the seal? It appears the holes are slotted in the gear where the bolt...

That's great info thank you and I'll order it up today. Do you happen to know what the compression should be on this engine? Is there somewhere on the site I can find that type of info?

thanks again

I plan to replace the belt, tensioner and pulley. I'm reading a lot about oem vs aftermarket. I see that there are quite a few places online to purchase, can someone suggest one?

thanks

Ok sorry about all the questions.....I was thinking too much. I was worried about injector timing but if I'm not mistaken the injectors will be directed when to fire based on the cam shaft position sensor correct?

Thanks for the quick reply. Since the crank sprocket is half the size in diameter of the cam sprocket I can turn the crank twice and get the cams in two different positions. Although I realize all three need to line up, I believe (since I jumped some teeth) I will need to start from scratch. In othe...

Basically, we want to do a couple of things. Can somebody please verify, or explain how I can verify, if I have VVT? 1. Can you identify based on the picture I've provided? 2.If it is VVT, where can I find the timing procedure process to time this? I think I know if it's non-VVT how to time it, if i...

Lets try this again

Here is a picture of the cams. I placed small strips of blue masking tape on the hash marks for you to see a bit easier. It certainly seems as though the timing is off.....and not just a few teeth. I was thinking of changing the belt/tensioner and then rechecking the compression. My questions: is th...

Yes I tried to align the cams to get it to DTC but with the belt still on. I slowly turned the crank clockwise and as many times as I turn it I just cannot seem to get the three to line up at the same time. By this I mean that the hash mark on the cams & crank will not line up with the upper bel...

I have a 99 S70 Non-Turbo which has 250K miles on it. When I went out to start it this past Tuesday I heard a clanking sound when I turned the key so I immediately stopped. I attempted a second time to start the car but it would not start. It is turning over and I never heard the clanking sound agai...
