I'm keeping this simple as I am out of energy, lmao.
1998 Zetec 2.0/W 94,000 miles, that blew the tensioner and timing belt.
I have it all apart and ready to install all new timing components. I have the Bar in the slots to line up the cams, all good. I installed the crank stop pin and rotated the harmonic balancer timing notches down to the bump on the case where it should be, but it wont get to TDC at this point and will not hit the crank stop either even though the balancer notches are lined up perfectly with the timing case bump. I have to rotate the balancer about an inch and a half PAST the timing cover bump in order to achieve TDC and hit the crank pin.
So now what I have is a bottomed out crank against the crank stop and total TDC, BUT......... The timing marks are no place near being aligned....at all. And this is the ONLY position I can achieve TDC and bottomed out crank against the pin, even after several rotations and attempts.
Is the balancer marks in the wrong spot? As in being a factory defect?
Any help or ideas are always appreciated...Thanks!
