Just dodged a bullet. Decided to pull my timing cover on my new-to-me 1989 and it was about to fall off.

Bought this rig a month ago and put 600 miles on it with only an oil change and new ignition parts. I thought the engine noise was broken studs/heat shields. Turns out my belt is so loose I can deflect it an inch with my pinky finger!!!

All the goodies came in today hopefully I can get the job done by the weekend for some wheelin!

Pinky fingers grow big in Arizona! (and from different parts of the hand)

 

Good thing you caught it. Hope that fixes the troubles.

Welcome.

It's running good and quiet now. The belt makes a kind of whiring noise, but I think it will go away once it stretches a bit, only 30miles on it so far.

Yeah, that's a little too tight. But it should stretch in a bit. It will take quite a while though. Mine was over a year before I couldn't hear it anymore lol.
