Thread: Belt Issue

Ok So I got alot of advice from my previous post about a coolant problem. I took the advice and put a new head gasket in cause everyine was right I had a bad head gasket. In the proscess of course I took my timing cover and timing belt off. After I took the timing cover off I found that there is a belt that goes from the Silent shaft sproket to the crankshaft sproket, the belt wasn't there. I'm not sure if it was there or not when I drove it all the way here from Spokane, WA cause when I took off the timing belt cover there was no broken or loose belts anywhere. I bought the right belt but now I cant get it on there. The gap between the crankshaft srocket and the housing is not wide enough to slide it in there. I thought about lossening the crankshaft sproket and pulling it out a little but it wont loosen because the sprocket just turns. If you need to see pics so you can see what I am talking about then write me with your email addy and I will send pics. I hope you have some ideas.
