cam belt on the outside of the pulley
cam belt on the outside of the pulley
Hello
I have a 99 4 cyl and I had a real problem with my cam belt walking off the outside of the pulleys. So bad that it would shred a belt in less than 1,000 miles on the highway. I finally fixed it, buy making certain that the cam belt tension was set correctly (or a little loose, tight will walk the belt right off of the pulleys) and that requires that you use the tools and technique as outlined elsewhere. I got further relief by removing the bottom idler all together. Works like a champ, I can now see some of the cam pulleys on the outside and the crank pulley is no longer overheating the outside of the cam belt.
Good luck
