Then stop asking about alternative procedures. That's not understanding why, that's just looking for another way around the steps from someone who not yet has done the work.
You may have your way of understanding why, and I have my way, which involves thinking about alternative procedures, and there's other motivations, like the joy of innovation and trying to save money. But I see that some people are offended by that, so sorry to offend.
Registration on MyTurboDiesel is free. It costs nothing.
This timing belt procedure is all about details - they are important and engine damage occurs if you ignore them.
No one should be offended, it's sound advice to use a proper kit when doing this the first time. Innovation and thrift are always in play.
Your motivations come at an expense of others' benevolence of responding with information.
There is nothing wrong with inventing a better/cheaper mousetrap but....you have not yet bothered to even understand how the mousetrap works.
HAHA You might be a redneck if......You should go hook up with my cousin Philip over in Memphis. I don't know if he's got the TDI tools but he does have a passel of IDI VW diesels. You guys could be buddies. Knowing that area, you probably already are
.
Two things to consider:HAHA You might be a redneck if......
Looking at the OP's comments it's obvious that he knows what chains to yank.
I think he's having way to much fun at you guys expense
The third part is for premium members only:
So, it's changed?
No, I'll pay $10--I didn't see where it said it costs $10. As far as the VC gasket, someone said I could use RTV, no need to replace the gasket. Also, can someone please tell me who rents the tools (Sorry if you already told me). I tried metalnerd and they don't rent.
Like many people you were Grand Fathered in before Chitty implemented the premium content thing.
I can get to the 3rd section with my login. I don't recall if I paid or donated money in the past. I will say, all the guides are very, very helpful. It's worth the price of admittance.
You are supposed to pray after marking.
You will, for sure. Please read thru the instruction multiple times before you start, really helps.
Sounds like you were sniffing the ether instead of working and thought you were doing a timing belt. After all this time of trying to get the OP to do it right, you have to come and spout this. But I have seen your other posts so that explains it.
Post #60, first paragraph tells about removing the cam sprocket. When installing the belt, it's wrapped around everything else then you slip the sprocket inside the loop and tilt the sprocket and slide it on the nose of the cam. Easy peasy. If you have the sprocket loosely on the nose of the cam it is a struggle to get the belt on the sprocket.
