1993 Capri Automatic, non turbo, blown timing belt!
As I understand it it's a non interference design? Just blew blocks from home, snapped completely, no horrendous noises, just stopped running.
A few questions; first, I can't get the dipstick out? is it just pushed in with o rings after you remove the support bracket? How will I get the harmonic balance nut torqued? Will I need to get the flywheel through an inspection plate or do I need to go borrow a specialty tool from O'Reilly's? BTW this car has one munch on the front bumper but will be for sale cheap if I get it running. I have an '84 Subaru I love because it's 4wd and dead simple (pushrod/timing gear engine, yay!) |
OK, seem to be getting away without removing the dipstick, but this gasket is terrible (timing cover gasket).
The challenge is getting the intake cam to stay in position while I get the belt on now. I am trying to enlist an assistant to hold it in place. Still curious how best to torque the balancer after? |
Impact wrench should put enough totque to it. Whats the torque setting for the Harmonic Balancer anyway?
