Hi
Thanks to all of you who've replied. I am now considering changing the timing belt, hydraulic tensioner and tensioning pullies myself. (And the serpentine belt and water pump while I'm at it.) I am pretty handy and once replaced the piston rings, valve seals and main bearings on my 1971 MG Midget, so I think I should be able to handle this job.
A lot has been written about aligning timing marks on the camshafts/crankshaft.
This may be a dumb question but:
If you don't turn the engine over after you've removed the timing belt, and put the new one on with the camshafts and crankshaft not having moved from the original positions, then there should be no need to re-align the camshafts/crankshafts again-right?
Or am I missing something?
Pete
