#1. I live in New Hampshire and im driving down to TurboTrix on Wed the 6th for an 11am tune.

I am in the middle of installing my cams right now but theres a huge problem. Everything went smooth until it came to reduce tension on the timing belt. I have no tool nor does any store around here sell an 8mmx1.25 threaded rod. Obviously i cannot streatch the timing belt over my fidanza cam gears.


---i just want to make sure...the tensioner adjustment is slightly above the tensioner itself. You need to remove the small rubber plug then thread the rod in through the heatshield part then into the tensioner adjustment fairly deep. Right?


WHAT AM I TO DO!? Tomorrow is a holiday and no one is open and im supposed to leave on Tuesday morning.

 

might want to repost this in your regional forum. maybe someone near you has the tool you need. worth a try.

 

It takes 24 hours to drive down there in a regular car

damn

You got an Evo

Light speed baby

 

Do you have an "advanced auto parts" in your area? They are open 4th of July here. Not sure about other parts stores.

Good luck,

Keith

 

you might be able to get your mitsu dealer to let you borrow(or rent) the tool.
that's what i did. lol, they didn't even know they had it because they said they
alway replace the tensioner when they pull the belt off.

 

would advanced auto or auto zone have one?
