Noise Inside Lower Timing Cover

supramacist · 04-25-2007, 07:01 PM

I gotcha. I actually think the belt I replaced was replaced shortly ago it looks pretty damn new to me. I'm going to soak it in palmolive and clean it up and keep it as a spare. I got that you all were talking about the washers.

Who the hell would want to weld that nut on?? No one over an IQ of 85. LOL.

You guys are straight.

Supramacist what is all this talk about nuts? Mr. Nickleye is talking about the crank timing sprocket, not the crank pulley. I think you know this, but I'm just making sure. The crank timing sprocket is cogged and the timing belt rides on it. The crank pulley, well, you know what THAT is. There are no nuts holding any of these on.

He just spot welded the "washer" back on the sprocket. Yes, not the best thing to do, but no need to insult his intelligence with that 85 IQ remark. I'm sure he did a quality job, he is a master ASC mechanic after all, or at least thats what he claims

. I would have just waited and bought a new one, but hey, thats me.

As far as soaking a timing belt in dish soap, thats a big NO NO. Nothing is suppost to get on a timing belt, not even pure water. I would just throw it away, they last a good 60-100K miles if no sand, oil or water gets on them and a new one is only $40 from the dealer anyway. I only pay $29 for new toyota timing belts

Thank you for trying to same page with me. LOL.

I don't know the technical name but the sprocket down inside the timing belt vault that looks like a cam gear. This is the one I thought we were talking about.

I wasn't trying to insult mrnickleye either. If it was taken that way I apologize.

I was saying if some one would have welded a nut on down there.

Your'e messing with me aren't you.......... Were you in the military hack hater?

I totally agree about the t-belt.

You can get a new Gates, Goodyear, or other brand any day at about every parts house for about $35.

Why put a used one on, only to have to do it again in a short time. Its like carrying your old fan belts in the trunk for 'just in case'.

Don't be lazy, like 75% of car owners that come into the shop.

Change the belts regularly at a convenient time,

rather than out on the road .......

or in the rain, ......

or on a first date.....

or in the mud......

or at night......

with a dead flashlight.......

and bad hood struts (too lazy to change them, too!)

So your new date has to stand in the rain & mud to hold the hood up !!!!!

Hey, just kidding. I got on a roll.
