Well I decided to fix my 420a up and get her running again but I dont want to put anouther crappy timing belt in there again..is there any kevlar timing belts for the 420a? and if so whats the website? I had my last timing belt in for only 30k and it snapped :mad: so just wondering if there is a better one than OEM..thankz
 
Call up Sean at conceptillusions.com and talk to him, if there is a better belt than oem he can get it. P.S. call around 3 ish thats usualy when he is avaible.
 
what else could be wrong..I have a shop replace all the timing parts like the tensoner..so what could make it snap that easy? other than that I will let you guys know if there is a stronger timing belt...siueclipse what could be wrong here..i need some help this is the second time this happened

If you snapped a timing belt, something else is wrong. Ive been running basic autozone timing belts without any problems and my whp is much greater than yours.
Yeah, there probably is something else.

I have a Gatorback belt on mine. I've never had any problems with timing belts snapping. Maybe your putting too much tension on the belt before pulling the pin on the hydrolic tensioner.
 
I know for a fact that Greddy has one, but you will pay the greddy price..
 
I would inspect your cams, maybe you have a bearing thats crapped out.
 
Bleh, ive sold my eclipse and Im building up my firebird... guess i just forget sometimes. oh well its the thought that counts.

anywho do you have adjustable cam gears?
