Hi. I have a 1995 Ranger 2.3 L which I am changing the timing belt on. I have set the marks on the crank, cam, an oil pulleys to line up, but when I tried to break the BOLT on the Cam, I jumped a tooth (or two)... With this said, I tried to align the marks, which I did, but when I went to start it, I can tell that the timing was indeed off by the tapping sounds it made.. I also spun the crank soto make sure the marks were not 180 degrees out..
After I re-checked the timing and set everything up a second time - same thing... Now, it looks like the cam could be a half tooth off, but there is no way to adjust for a 1/2 tooth is there?
I'm beginning to think the cam is out of time?? If so, can I move the cam pully by itself while the tension is off and adjust?
I appreciate anyone's input into this...
