   <- Previous     The timing belt issue....    Next ->  
After many hours of the motor running, The timing belt jumped teeth. I kinda glad it jumped on the trailer and not im my shark hole in Beaufort, SC. The old belt was no doubt factory or close to it. The new timing belt should be here in the morning and be installed by the night. The only issue is, I has to remove most of the cooling system, E.G. Coolant res, impeller and housing. The exchanger can stay. I figured out that my tentioner was locked (or not spinning that good) so the belt jumped. I removed the tentioner and lubed it up. It was so slick what it was slipping out of my hands durring install. But now, the time is all out of wack, but I have 2 diffrent manuals and I think I can get the new belt on in the right fashion. I will take many pictures of the procedure for I can find no info on this on the web about timing belt changes on the AQ125.

UPDATE:
I installed the new timing belt. Its not to bad, besides the fact that you have to remove the cooling system and risk damaging seals reinstalling it. After it was installed and the cooling system was reinstalled, it cranked like a champ. Slapped the timing light on it and set it to a perfect 6 degrees BTC. It cranks with 1/4 turn now.
