Where does the belt go after a timing belt change?
The top mount usually comes off to allow the belt to go around the cam and the full engine weight rests on the front mount by the radiator core support… that will usually be the issue related to the vibration Thank you all for the prompt reply. This is a local guy and I trusted him.
What does the serpentine belt on a car do?
The serpentine belt in your car powers the accessories such as air conditioning, power steering, the alternator, fan, and waterpump. There are three types of serpentine belt wear, pilling, glazing, and abrasion.
Can a timing belt change cause exhaust valves to burn?
That is absolutely ludicrous and even if the intake valves are not bent due to a mistake it’s also possible that the exhaust valves could burn depending on the cam timing situation. You cannot continue to drive the car like this; period. I would approach them one time about making this right.
Why does my serpentine belt keep squeaking?
There are three types of serpentine belt wear, pilling, glazing, and abrasion. Pulley wear will cause your pulley to squeak. A worn out pulley bearing or a worn spring in the tension pulley can also cause squeaking.

Why are my timing belts vibrating in my Mercedes?
When these belts are loose or worn, this can lead to an engine vibration in your Mercedes. Getting your timing belts checked out and replaced if necessary, will help to eliminate these vibrations.

What should I do if my car runs rough at higher RPM?
Its probably somewhat small b/c it apparently doesn’t disturb the cold idle too much (richer mixture at that point). A smoke test at a shop might be the fastest/easiest way to go, but you have to pay for those. Some people spray something like carb cleaner around vacuum connections & manifold looking for changes in idle.
What happens when a balance shaft belt breaks?
The failure of either belt is critical as even if the balance shaft belt breaks, the broken belt usually gets caught in the timing belt and results in timing belt failure. These two belts run side by side within the timing cover and because of space constraints both belts are relatively narrow in width.
How to take timing belt off water pump?
In order to take it off you need to remove the crankshaft sensor first. You need to first remove the old balance shaft tensioner pulley. Make caution to not move the crank shaft while doing this. Now carefully walk the balance shaft belt off of the balance shaft and crankshaft. This is almost like a small timing belt.
When to change timing belt on Alfa Romeo?
Alfa Men advises all owners to closely monitor the age of their timing belt and as per Alfa Romeo’s advice have it replaced at 3 years of age or 60,000 km’s – whichever comes first. If the car has only done 10,000 km’s and it has been 3 years since the last timing belt change, it’s due for replacement.
How to remove timing belt and timing balancer?
Timing tensioner. Before moving on to the next step, it’s wise to drain the coolant. Place a pan under the car, and turn the petcock on the bottom of the radiator to release. Now that the coolant has been drained and the timing belt as well as the balancer have been removed, the water pump can come out. Remove the bolts in red (Figure 12).

How does the timing belt work in an engine?
A timing belt, timing chain, or cambelt is a part of an internal combustion engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft (s) so that the engine’s valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes.
How do you replace the timing belt on a Honda Accord?
Install the timing belt drive pulley. Install the tensioner. Install the water pump pulley. Install the camshaft pulley. Loosen and tighten the adjusting nut to tighten the tensioner belt. Install the timing balancer belt pulley and lower cover. Then, tighten the bolts. Install the crank pulley and bolt.
