Re: need help fast
I think we live pretty close so the next time you put the drive pulley on, call and I will come over and tighten the bolt for you (I am almost 80 years old) LOL

Re: need help fast
Were you tightening it down to 100lb ft? There is no way it should just come loose like that..

Re: need help fast
no its hard to explain, the pulley got rounded out by the key and today the key just brok off... all i know is that i need to get a new key on there and the camshaft gear isnt alligned with the camshaft so the key wont fit in anymore even if i do get a new one.... im just really stuck here and i dont know how to fix it. and i have no transportation right now

Re: need help fast
Cruisen,
How about a picture so that we are sure of whats going on? The key should pull out with just plyers. You have mentioned both camshaft and crankshaft, I'm just trying to help.

Good grief, man.
I had a similar experience. I just got it all at the dealer. The gear should just slide right out provided it's not baked on. If the crankshaft won't hold the key properly due to damage, unlikely considering the key is soft aluminum, you are SOL. I believe the timing belt has marks. Your timing cogs should have marks. to line them up, or you should have marked them. If not, SOL again. You'll have to do it manually.

Re: need help fast
On the passenger side of the engine point the cam sprocket arrow strait up, and align the hash mark on the cam sprocket to the one on the plastic timing belt cover back pannel.(11:00)
Put the crankshaft keyway at the 3:00 position, lining up the hash mark with the one at the bottom of the crank sensor casting.(about 12:03) Put the drivers side camshaft arrow pointing strait up, while aligning the hash mark (1:00) to the one on the timing belt cover back plate. Install the belt, release the tentioner and check it. Tom
