cambelt kit - timing marks?

[monka]

do the cambelt kits you get come with the timing marks that you are supposed to put in certain places or not? cheers

dont think so mate. just the belt, idle pully and tensioner pulley.

you just use the standard timing marks on the car

 

[monka]

nothing to line them up with on the belt?

usually a couple of white lines or something on them?

Theres Timing Marks on the Block and on the Top timing pully mate thats all you need to time it up.

no marks on the belt only on the head n the block very easy 2 do

yeah i know there are timing marks, but everything else i've ever done has had marks on the belt that you line up with the marks on the engine as well. other wise you could end up with a different length between the sides than is needed, and put the timing out.

ie

a mark lines up with the mark on the bottom pulley, and one on the top, this ensures that when you put the belt on, you get the correct length between each mark,

every belt i've ever done has had this, from renaults and peugeots to subarus

it can depend on what make belt you buy if its got the lines on or not

just line up the timing marks fit the belt turn it over 2times at the crank and check the mark line back up and the belt is the right taut
