hootie6828 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Timing belts are funny things. I'very seen several that lost tensioners or idlers and didn't jump time. At the same time i've seen a few jump for no good reason whatsoever. Guess the car gods were looking out for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been making a high pitched whining noise that gave the impression that the timing belt was rubbing on the cover. I let it go for about a week then thought I would check it because it was getting increasingly louder. The white spacer saved the day. 15 hours ago, gdog said: Dude, you are so lucky!! you should play the lotto now Was that a hydraulic one? Cant, had to buy parts now there is no money left for the lotto. Yes it was the hydraulic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That white spacer was the only thing that saved your motor..That belt is so loose still it should have slipped...ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
