Re: Too much timing belt travel...
I am relieved to say that after over two weeks and 105 posts, the problem has been solved!
The culprit being a defective timing belt. I picked up the new OEM belt from subaru earlier today. Upon inspection and comparison the new belt and previous belt (PCI) looked essentially the same. The markings on the new belt from Subaru however were much more helpful. There was a dotted line across the belt which related to alignment with the crankshaft sprocket and timing marks, whereas the other two marks were solid lines for the right and left bank camshaft sprockets. Simple and easy no guess work involved. I did notice that there was more slack on the new belt as opposed to the old. This was confirmed when I removed the allen wrench from the hydraulic tensioner, the piston extended sigificantly more than with the previous belt. Perhaps I had the wrong belt all along...I'll never know I guess. I know others have used PCI for the timing belt kit and have installed without any problems. But like any mass produced product I unfortunately came upon a defective unit in the bunch. Thanks again for everyone's help, I am greatly apprectiative. Hopefully my misfortune and the responding posts will benefit others in the future. http://youtu.be/rHGZzcjjF2I |

Re: Too much timing belt travel...
Was that before nate? Apparently it's a competition to see who solved it/called it first.

Re: Too much timing belt travel...
While I didn't post it first, I think I posted it the most.... Does that count for a consolation prize?

I'm more glad that you were finally able to get the problem solved. It is probably a bigger relief to you knowing that you did everything properly, but a "damaged" part was causing the issue. Last edited by 1986nate; 02-18-2012 at 05:55 PM. |

Re: Too much timing belt travel...
I suggested it was a bad belt almost 10 years ago because I can see into the future. Therefore, I win. Mods, you can close the thread now.
