So last fall my brother dropped in a used motor in his gvr4 with new gaskets, timing components, etc. It started it up and all but needed some tweeking. Fast forward about 3 weeks. The car no longer started and him and his buddy undid the timing belt and some how concluded the crank sprocket was bad and removed it. I wasn't around when all this was done so i couldn't verify if they lined up all markers and made sure it was TDC but I was told everything was done.
Upon researching best way to bolt on a new sprocket on tuners we put the timing belt back on while I made sure the cams didn't move and my brother torque down the sprocket/bolt. In the couple of attempts we did the sprocket slipped off the belt and turned. That feeling didn't feel right so I left it at that. I'm hoping we didn't screw anything up and I suspect the best thing to do now is take everything apart, inspect, and redo his timing.
thoughts?
