tension seems spot on and cambelt is not old either although i have ordered a replacement.

James

Are you sure it's out?

whats it running like?

cos if someone has used paint parks on the belt and you are going by these they'll never line up again, well they will, but it's something like 52 turns later.

Maybe it wasn't a tooth out the 1st time but now it is?
Maybe someone needs to go to Spec-Savers

when i took the head off last week i lined up the crank marks with the timing pulley but the pointers on the cam pulleys were not directly opposite each other.....they were both pointing upwards by a tooth or so

James

i don't really undertstand what you've done tbh?

you had it setup and matey said it was 1 tooth out so he adjusted, you took the head off last week and then it was out still?

is that right?

do you have different cams/vernier pulleys?

The belt was about 1 month old (gates) when you bought it mate ?

I really had no idea i was running about in it with 1 tooth out as you said

Strange its out again though ?

Hope everything turns out ok

Do you have alloy verniers and how old are they? Check to see if they are worn on the teeth.

no i dont have verniers and i havent changed the cams but it seems that twice the cam timing has moved
