1g shortblock with 2g head help?!!

[JMAR]

I've been searching all over and I've got some answers but i'm still lost. Ok so i am using a 1g 7bolt Shortbl ock with 2g head. I just did the timing and was wondering. Why does my timing belt hangover the cam gears about 1/16?! Is that bad? Also any other info on the setup would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Joey

Did you use all new pulleys? Tighten all the pulley bolts? How did the tensioner arm bushing look? What happened to the last belt?

Rotate the engine over about a dozen times and check the belt placement again. If all is correct the belt will move into its proper place.

Did you buy a 6 bolt or 7 bolt tensioner pulley?

No the kit i bought had about 400 miles on it. The last belt didn't break its fine. What happened was, the engine popped a head gasket. So i had it all rebuilt. Its all 7bolt parts.

Also i turned the engine over a dozen times it stops and stays right there on the edge of the cams about a 1/16 over on the driver side motormount.

Did you have the head shaved? If so, who did the work? Have you checked the tensioner arm bushing yet? Those do not come in the kit. Also make sure your harmonic balancer is fully seated to the crank gear.

Make sure you have the 7 bolt tenstioner pulley installed, they set back a tad farther towards the block that the 1g/6 bolt ones.
