Im wondering how tight the timing belt should actually feel after you do the 3notches tightening thing?
i was playing with the valves and noticed the belt felt sortof loose...more play than should be i guess to i redid the adjustment to tighten it up....
Im not sure if i got a bit of oil or something on the alternator belt or if i tightened the timing belt to much...but theres a sound i cant discribe other than its like getting static in your speakers that gets louder wwith the speed....like a shhshshshssssssssss :huh:
i just dont want to screw my belt yet....ill replace it after winter.
and when doing the valve clearances...what do you guys put it at and How much drag should you actually feel when adjusting the clearance??? a little ...moderate or??
I set them at .006 intake and .010 for exhuast....but im not sure if its accurate since the drag thing is confusing What is slight drag?
Thanks .....i just dont feel like removing everything again for the 3rd time in 2 days......my valve cover is taking a beating......
