B21-F engine goes out of time 200 82

posted by  someone claiming to be Keith Shostrom on  Fri Oct 19 10:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This has happened 3 times. After starting cold engine, engine dies and will not restart. Ignition timing is found to be about 15 degrees off. The timing gear has been found to be one or two cogs off on the timing belt. After re-timing, the car runs fine for awhile and then it happens again, even with new timing belt. Belt tensioner is OK.

Mechanic has pulled the distributor and oil pump and removed the shaft that drives them. This shaft is supported by 3 bearing in the block. The center bearing lubrication hole is open, but this bearing appears rough, other bearings look OK. Shaft journals appear OK. Mechanic thinks that this shaft periodicaly seizes for just a second causing the timing belt to slip a cog or two.

Has anyone out there experienced or heard of this problem? We need all the help we can get. Thanks.
