@thatracinglife

@reddmann2216 anywhere from 60 to 120 cars. Most tracks are 1/4 mile. Some slightly bigger.

Does the stroke #1 is on matter or can it be on any of the 4 strokes as long as the piston itself is at TDC? I've been looking into doing this and am not finding a definitive answer as to if it has to be TDC on the compression stroke or just at TDC.
@thatracinglife
@thatracinglife 6 ай бұрын
Turn it to number 1 TDC before you remove it. If it's already out of time it shouldn't matter as long as all the timing tools line up. They will only line up with number 1 at tdc

@kurtiscal3msetccdwell618 the cam timing is what will dictate valve timing. (Aka what stroke its on) cams spin at half crank speed. So you could technically only have the engine 180 off if you did it by the pistons. Don't worry about any of that though. Buy the timing tools, as long as they are in and everything is lined up you'll be good. When you remove the tools, spin the engine over a couple times by hand and line up the tools one more time to verify it's all good and you're golden!

Thats crazy, i have the same thing going on with my black 1994 Ford Escort LX Coupe, which is like this one, but about 10 years older. My mechanic thought the motor was blown, but to his surprise, the timing belt was shredded, so he bought a new timing belt for me to install on it, because he is done with fords lol

I'll give y'all a back yard mechanic trick you don't have to take any more off than the cam gear cover and the crank pulley and cover and loosen the tensioner all the way and just feed the belt down the tensioner side then turn the side of the belt that is toward the front of the car side ways and work it between the divider and the block till it goes through and is in correct position against the front pulley . Then the rest is just making sure your timing is good

You say DONT use the lower idler pulley. I ordered a belt kit that came with the extra pulley and because my 2002 Zetec did not have one I left it out. I later found out what they are for. My daughter was using my car and she had a ' jittery ' way of cranking an engine when starting. She was jittery with the key and sometimes she would get a false start causing it to try and rotate backwards a few turns. Normally it would maybe just blow off vacuum lines but one time it caused the cam belt to jump over THREE TEETH on the crankshaft. When I fixed it I then put that extra pully in place as it helps keep the belt from jumping over teeth in the event of it turning backward. I don't know what you did to bend valves trying to use one.

May have caused broken bolt. When I got a kit with two idler pulleys the instructions said if you use the bottom idler to torque the top idler bolt a whole lot more. It's not a very large bolt so the extra torque would be way too much and stretch it. I put mine to the normal amount.

@@michaelszczys8316seems like it is supposed to be torqued a bit more. The torque specs I found are the following: Upper and lower idler pulley, old two-pulley-design: 38Nm/28 lb-ft. Upper idler pulley, new design without lower pulley: 23 Nm/15 lb-ft.

I have done that before. In this instance I decided to push it for the win. If it were just a cooling system issue I would have made it. Turned out it was the oil clearances getting super tight in the head from someone else's "rebuild" that made the cam lock up and snap. No biggie, just swapped in a new engine and it was solid.

@@JebediahKerman185 definitely not. You have to buy those specific your chassis or make custom ones. They will sell you the side mount brackets. But you need the rest of the stuff made for your chassis. Keep in mind too that most circle tracks have an "aluminum" seat rule (which is outdated and stupid) so the road race style of seat won't pass tech. Make sure you check your rules first.
