94 940 timing problem 900

Hey friends,

I just changed the head gasket on my moms 94 940 non turbo. I got it all reassembled and now Im having drivability problems. It feels like the trans is slipping and it won't go over 60 mph. When I changed the belt the rear timing cover was disintegrating so I replaced it with a new one. I suspect I screwed up the timing when replacing the belt. Does that sound likely? BTW I changed the head gasket not because of a leak but because the 1 exhaust manifold bolt was broken and I need to remove the head to have a machine shop install a new one. thanks for any help.

    set the crank to TDC,
    verify the distributor is pointing to number 1 under the cap
    and then check your cam sprocket
    which will most likely be off a tooth or two from tdc

      Just a quick note. TDC is easily found by looking at the cam #1 lobes through the oil add hole in the valve cover. Both lobes will be up (pointing + and - roughly 45 degrees from vertical) at TDC.

    After many years of doing amateur and professional auto repair if there's one thing I've learned -- have a problem? where were hands "monkeying" :> ) around last? Yes, it does sound like you have timing issues. Easy to do--easy to correct - no harm done. -- Dave
