I just finished putting a new waterpump, timing belt, front case, tensioner, and idler pulley and tensioner. My worry is that i don't know if my oil sprocket needs to be in time with crank and camshafts, because somehow it is not. I don't have my balance shafts, so is it necessary for it to be in time? Also another worry is that I don't know how much is enough tension for the timing belt. Can anyone please help
 
if you have a balance shafy elimination kit its does not have to be in time, all you have to line up is the crank with the cams....the tension on the timing belt should set itseft once you pull the pin on the tensioner, make sure you adjust the tensioner pully so is tight against the belt before you pull the pin and it should be a ok...:thumb:
 
thanks guys, i was just paranoid as its my first time to change all that out. i just redid it again. figured out it was fine the first time :coy:
