sleek3 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 well over the past week i been doing a major service on my car. i know this only takes a few hours if done in one go but didn't have the time.....well when i took everything off the car was top dead centre. i replaced all three belts, i also replaced the water pump to a gates waterpump, and put new tensioners and a gates racing timing belt, well i finally got all done everything was top dead centre belt lined up and everything was good. i then put everything back together and finally started her up, everything was fine except for the HUMP in the idle which i thought it could have been just the crank angle sensor. so i took it for a short drive up the road this is where my nightmare began, i got the car to second gear and got up to about 4500rpm with only like 3pound on and my car started shaking like no tomorrow, the car died and i started it back up i then noticed NOW my clutch fan is wobbling like a SOB so i limped it home about 100 metres up the road and the car is really bad vibrations through the gearbox and the motor. question is do you think i BLEW MY MOTOR??????? i am not to sure if i did and now i dont even know where to start checking please help thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270185-major-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
predator Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Doesn't sound too good.. pull the cover off the front of the cams, and see if the belt is still sitting properly on the camgears.

sleek3 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 THE RESULTS!!! went back and got a new water pump and put that on. it was a jap made pump so i trust it more than the last one. timed everything back and put the car together started her up i knew it was do or die so i was expecting the worse and my motor to shit it self, well started up and fired up just fine. took the car for a drive and runs better than before, never knew a fan could cause so much trouble but obviously with all the weight on it....it shook the whole car. but as end result everything is fine and working as normal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270185-major-problem/#findComment-4598562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
