Hello, I recently started working on the timing on my 2G Eclipse. I noticed that every time I tighten the belt, my oil pump and crank gears do not align with the timing marks. I’ve tried several configurations, moving a tooth back and forth, but nothing seems to line the gears up correctly.
At first, I thought it was because I bought a cheap belt and that the fitment was incorrect, so I bought a more expensive one for around $180. Now that I have this more expensive belt, I thought it would fit perfectly like they explained in the manual and on other threads, but it still doesn’t seem correct.
Honestly, I don’t know what to do at this point, and I’m way too picky to just leave it the way it is now.
