Apparently not. The pulley is a pressed together item with a rubber damper. Looks like mine shed the damper which caused the 2 parts to separate. I dont think it actually caused the problem but was larming when it fell apart onto the floor when i cut the belt off !

With zero compression on cylinders 1 & 2 and only 50psi on 3 it wont run of course. If timing had slipped then the compression on cylinder 4 wouldnt be 180psi. Really mystified as to what has happened. I suspect head gasket or head warped. Also found that the crankshaft pulley ( bottom pulley )...

the engine is out. im just having a look at diagnosing the cam timing. it was showing zero compression on 1 and 2 so i think the problem is more fundamental than the timing slipped.

Ok sounds good. How obvious will it be if it has jumped a tooth ?

What am i looking for on the end of the cams ?

how can i do a quick timing check without the special tools ? are there any timing marks that i can use ? just trying to confirm what happened when my engine failed...

yep thought as much. Was just trying to save a few mins . No shortcuts..

With the box in neutral can i run the motor without risking box damage. Input shaft will be driven i guess... Or am i being blonde ?

So i am now guessing that the timing has jumped a tooth. What are the chances of having it simply timed up again ? Would i be looking at valve damage ?

i dont have my other engine to check but is there a rubber between the inner and the out parts of the pulley ?

are they damped to stop resonance destroying the crank \ bearings ? i have never heard of this before.

Not a tensioner but the main crankshaft pulley. Just fell in half...

Is this a first ????? Lifted the broken engine out of the sunflower this evening. Suspect headgasket as lack of compression across cylinders. As i lifted it out i noticed the aux belt not sitting correctly and pinched under the cambelt cover. Immediately i was thinking that it had jammed the...

My Clio 1.2 does not self centre the steering. Checked wheel alignment and tyre wear and all ok Think it has an electric rack. Do they have problems ? Cant really describe it but its like a high spot if you know what i mean.

Are the aux belt kits still £60 from Renault ?

Saw a sunflower phase 1 between thrapston and Oundle on saturday morning. Anyone on here ? Just road the corner is mine but minus engine.

check the cover over the fuel rail isnt loose. they can make an annoying racket. the bolts can shear

sunflower appreciation ?

ill buy the engine off you !

but if no alternative its a must right ?

Looking to get one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1500lb-engine-leveller-superior-quality-engine-crain-inc-vat-/280770646666?pt=UK_Lifting_Moving_Equipment&hash=item415f3c128a Can i just remove some head bolts to attach it ?

it did blurt its coolant weeks ago and i refilled. of course it went for a reason.... going to pull the motor and see what i can find.

if belt slipped it would be instantaneous. The engine light came on twice five mins before hand then cleared. Wouldnt this indicate something confusing the exhaust sensors ? Belts has been on for 60k.... The luck i have had this year you wouldnt believe. The year from hell.....

compressions ..... zero zero 80 155............

Suspected headgasket failure. Want to know if the head can be skimmed and what is the tolerance...

I want to get the fairing on my GSXR repainted ? Anyone local in Northants willing to help me out ? Just looking to splash some white paint on it.

what is it ? how is it done ?

Essex ! Enough said.........................
