hiya could some one tell me how to put my timing belt back on without any damage done.
i took my engine apart to change block but i took belt of with out doing any marking ect now i dont want to bolt heads down till i know it ok to do so

 

easier than trying to explain:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1PunROR3VU


also dont forget the timing belt guide needs to be adjusted,the one above the crankshaft pulley, if someone could confirm please 1mm/1.5mm gap ????

 

cheers mate

 

i watched the clip he has marked his belt and now is lining the marks up with the cams ect. i have not done none of that i just took the belt off can i just put the belt back on new block

 

turn the crank so the pistons are mid stroke then set the cams up to the marks. set the crank to its mark and slide the belt on. a new belt will have marks on it to help out if needed.

 

ok i have watched few, subaru timming belt instals..and info from scooby net..

let me know were i go wrong

first turn the crank so the cut out/marking is facing upwards.
then fit head gasket
then fit heads
then fit cams

then looking at the block the top right cam turn clockwise till cut out/marking facing up to the cut out on block .

the cam below on right side turn clockwise till cut out/marking is facing right on the cut out on block.

then left side.. turn top one clockwise till cut out/marking is facing upwards to cut out on block.

and bottom one turn clockwise till it its cut out is facing left to the cut out on block .

then fit belt
and release tensioner

i have not tried this im still waiting for correct ansers before i go ahead !
