HOW TO: Timing Belt, Balancer Shaft Belt, and Accessory Belt Replacement

vibration after timing belt install
Looks like I made the wrong move by having a local mechanic put the new timing belt on. (should this be done at 60k on an '03 Evo?) As soon as I got in afterward, I could tell there was something wrong. The vibration is pretty subtle, almost unnoticable below 3,ooo rpm, and not so bad up from there. But when I put the clutch in to upshift there is a pretty bad vibratrion that is worse the higher the rpm above 3,000. Customer service guy at rock auto tells me the balance shaft is not right.
Is this where the turning the crankshaft 3 full turns comes in? Any advice on what I can tell him to help him get it right?
Same thing happenned with my '93 laser RS, except the vibration was really bad when it hit 3,000 during acceleration, even without hitting the clutch. Same issue? (That was a different machanic; took it back 3 times, no help, switched shops after that.)

good info. you should add that when realising the pin from the auto tensioner the value of the pin A (between the tensioner arm and the auto tensioner body) should be 0.15-0.18 in.

I am dead smack in the middle of the install. Have yet to get the oem belts off yet, I seems as though I have to pull the power steering pump/bracket. For whatever reason mitsubishi decided that putting the bracket 1/2 way over the i guess they are idlers (theres one on the left and the right timing belt guide i guess. I dont think i can get a tool in there also. ? fact? its an evo ix.

"Remove Generator Brace, Qty3 12mm. Note: insert the really long screw back into place once the brace is removed. This will keep coolant from seeping out." ?????????????????????
what is this? the alternator brace?

Just did the t-belt, bal belt & drive belt on my IX yesterday. It was not that bad to do. I did not have to do that oil pump hole thing I just used a white out to mark the old t-belt & bal belt with the gears & then matched it with the new t-belt & bal belt & installed back using the white out marks. Watch out for that exh cam gear as it will move if you do not secure it. Only weird thing that happened is once I got everything back together the car would not start but cranks. I pulled the top cover off & lined up the cam gear with the marks & then disconneted the neg batt cable for 10 secs & then the car started. Not really sure what happened there but the car runs now.
