Hi, I'm asking this here because I've been through 5 attempts to get my timing right. the last time I got it right but the belt broke and bent valves. F$%^&*(#@.
I was torqued off!
So with that, I gave up and sent it to a shop to do the heads and valves. 1300$ later they have put it back together twice and the first time was waaaay off. Ran like it was a clogged up catalytic converter, Soooooo, I went and had that put on and $140 later same result, ran like a 2 legged dog.
This is when I had them redo it and it is a lot better but still I think it's off. In 3rd at 35 MPH it chugs every 5 seconds.
My problem is the crank timing mark is on the pulley, which can be installed in 4 different positions (BRILLIANT engineering!)
One very good mechanic told me the number of teeth between the cam cogs and the number between the drivers side cog and the crank mark. I can't get in touch with him now and I was wondering if anyone knew these numbers so I can get my truck running again. He looked it up in some manual but I don't know which one.
