Resynching '99 Rodeo cam(s) - SOHC
Chaning out timing belt on a '95 Rodeo 3.2l - SOHC -automatic.
Lined up crank marks and 2 cams sprockets as per manual. When installing new belt, drivers side cam sprocket would fall thru a bit. I finally got the crank and two cams lined up and the tensioner on. Now the passenger side cam sprocket mark is about 3/4" early. It could be that the drivers side cam is the one that's really off since this is where I had most of my problems. The engine is of a post-distributor variety so there's no rotor to guide in positioning. The engine has been turned manually several times; I do not hear anything colliding. If I did, I suspect the engine would not turn. If anyone has any ideas about how I might get the cam(s) lined back up I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
