Can you help, My timing belt seems to have slipped a tooth, whilst driving there was smoke and clutch burning smell comming from cam belt cover, engine now runs rough, is there a nylon bush that wears causing this prob? and how do i go about replacing it, i presume the drive belt will also need changing. Are the timing marks easy to find?, thanks, Mikenem > Can you help, My timing belt seems to have slipped a tooth, whilst driving > there was smoke and clutch burning smell comming from cam belt cover, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > changing. Are the timing marks easy to find?, thanks, > Mikenem You could be in for a world of hurt. The V6 is an interference engine - if the cam timing is lost, the valves can hit the pistons. IF (big if) you only jumped one tooth, the heads may be alright. Best case, you need a belt, tensioner kit, and about $300 US worth of special tools to set the cam timing. Worst case - bent/broken valves and damaged pistons. I would leave this job to the pro's. Looks like car to be scrapped, will shortly be breaking car in manchester, england, Spares soon for sale leave message for any requests > Looks like car to be scrapped, will shortly be breaking car in manchester, > england, Spares soon for sale leave message for any requests If your engine still runs but does so poorly nothing is interfereing. At least not yet. Fix the timing belt now. > Can you help, My timing belt seems to have slipped a tooth, whilst driving > there was smoke and clutch burning smell comming from cam belt cover, > engine now runs rough, is there a nylon bush that wears causing this prob? > and how do i go about replacing it, i presume the drive belt will also need > changing.

If the timing belt slipped enough to cause smoke and a burning smell, you'd have lnown it instantly by the loud bang from the engine compartment and the engine dying immediately.

Timing belt has just started fraying on one side, if i press on the belt the top pully wheel slightly moves, is this a tension wheel? or has something worn. > Forgot to mention there was a squeeling noise before any problems went away > then problem accured. ive pulled back timing cover to look at belt mot > fully taken off yet as dont want to take off drive belt.

The tensioner pulley is on the left side. It has an eccentric cam assembly to allow give and take on the belt. The pulley in the top center between the two heads is supposed to be stationary, as is the one on the right side. Signature-Fred W
