When to do the timing belt on a Magna?
The service interval for the timing belt on most cars including the magna is 100k with 10% +/- . Where did you get the +/- 10% from? The service book says to get it done at 100,000km’s not “but you can delay it by 10,000kms if you want”. The timing belt is something you -always- get done on time to prevent possible complete engine failure.
When to check engine timing for low compression?
Valve Timing. When all of the cylinders are low and inserting oil into the cylinder does not increase compression, check the engine’s valve timing. The timing belt can slip on the sprockets resulting in low compression in all of the engine’s cylinders. Before replacing the rings in this engine, check the valve timing.
How can I get the timing belt on the right course?
Compare the timing marks to make sure that the timing belt is on the right course. Look for timing marks on the crank, the cam and the sprockets. Make sure that they are all aligned evenly. Turn your engine manually by using a wrench to manipulate the crankshaft pulley.
What does the timing belt on a car do?
Also known as cam belt or timing chain, the timing belt runs throughout your engine, ensuring that the valves work in timed coordination with each other. Though the mechanism itself is rudimentary, its function is so critical that you may need the help of a professional before you decide to adjust a timing belt.

How big should the hydraulic tensioner be on a Mitsubishi Magna?
Rotate the engine two full rotations and then inspect the piston of the hydraulic tensioner. It should be extended -no more than 5mm-. Realistically, about 3-4mm is where you want to be. If the piston is extended more than 5mm, the mechanical tensioner was too lose.
What to do if your timing belt has been replaced?
