ok so I finally finish this build after 2 yrs!! do the testing of starting and idling etc etc... finally sees light after being in garage for two yrs do test drive end of street and back.. finally get plates & insurance.. I drive little further to get some gas than Mc d's for lunch... I pull over in parking lot after getting gas... I was trying to adjust idle screw.......and what do I see?....................... The timing belt is split in half!!
..... I was lucky enough to drive and coast home taking back roads since i was only 5 min away with half a timing belt on... I get it home take off drampner & timing cover... looking and looking see nothing fell in, the bottom oil pan bolt was good... Then Im looking at the intake cam gear and notice play in the dowel pin hole... The fruit and banana cam gear came lose I dont know how ! And work play in the dowel hole on the cam gear......and the dowel pin came crooked and narrow at top...
So last night I picked up a gates timing belt, I took out the cam shaft ( 272) & today im taking to machine shop for a new dowel pin...supposably he did some custom work for Jays lenos car so I hear he is pretty good... But anyways this sucks!! All i had to do left was tune & retorque head studs and break in new clutch.... Im just hoping and
that I did not bend any valves I really am!!
Have to get this cam shaft done, retorque everything i can again! install timing belt again... ooo I forgot I need a new lower timing belt cover
FML!!!!!
