Default timing

Was considering changing out the belt and timing gears, but I see these adjustable ones. I havent worked on engines before, but is it a hard job to do this? Can I just bolt on the new gears and belt and be on my way or do I have to set the timing somehow, I have no clue.

oh and another question, do the w58 and w154 use the same driveshaft?

Whenever you replace the timing belt, you have to re-check the timing. No way around it. My Haynes manual has a good explanation of how to set the belt, and time the gears. Get one for less than $20, and follow the steps.

Plus, I doubt the driveshafts are compatible. The W58 is smaller than the R154.

Better have a friend that has done a t-belt with you. look in the FAQ section for some info.

Default timing

you need a camshaft holder, the cheapest i found was in ebay for 19 bucks, make sure you understand and locate the TDC spots.

Now, on adjustable cams, u need to adjust the position of the crankshaft also,few degrees in cams, few degrees in crankshaft.

I am assuming that u want to increase the compression by adjusting the cams? If so, try to adjust the gap on your spark plugs, make them closer
instead of .044 try .04 these will fire it quicker!!


These engines are forgiving but very tempermental.
