Engine: B5254: cambelt setup

[ukdido]

I would like to verify properly cambelt setup.Seems to be half tooth not in line with intake camshaft.I need your opinion guys. Thanks

Does the mark on the exhaust sprocket line up correctly, and are there 19 teeth between the two marks? See here for better description of what I mean.

Is that cam not pre-loaded with a spring? When you took the belt off did the cam rotate back itself? If it did, you need to pre-load/tension it when you put the new belt on.

If you look at the clamping screw for the vernier pulley you will see it has moved , someone has been there before you ...
So , Either they used the correct special tools and what you have is correct ( as long as the bottom mark is exact ) so you need to add your own mark right now .
OR someone has messed it up and your can timing is not correct , I would assume the latter , In which case explain all this to your dealer and let them set up the cam timing correctly with the special tools and then they make a fresh mark if they can't get the original line to line up .

I have count teeth . There is 18 between marks. When I have changed cambelt kit I also swap the CVT pulley for new. When I done that I have used properly clamps on rear camshafts and blocked them correctly. Also have rotated CVT pulley to right side. But since I done that engine does not sound as 5 cylinders and isn't powerful,only sometimes. There is no errors code and vacuum around 18inch steady.
So if between marks should be 19 teeth ,probably is something wrong.

Yes , best to set it all up again , but you have to use the crankshaft stop tool through the hole in the block behind the starter motor , lining the marks up by eye isn't perfect .
When all the tools are locked in place make sure the cambelt is tensioned and tightened first , then tighten the variable pulley bolts and make new marks on the top pulleys before taking the tools out .

I've done that without crankshaft blocked, to be honest. I will do again on Monday.

The Datum for the cam pulley marks are the two slots in the plastic cover , the number of teeth is irrelevant ...
