If only there was a known way to tension a belt or chain. Maybe they could call it a belt tensioner or something.

I kinda respect what he's going for, but that is a lot of time and effort to make a lathe that makes those el cheapo Chinese minis look like precision machines. The angle he tapped that loving screw hole at bugs the poo poo out of me on a deep psychological level.

The serpentine belt and self-tensioners are honestly one of the best things that have been cranked out. Granted some fail, some leak, a bearing goes bad but the last thing I worry is tossing a belt and trying to use some panty hose to solve it.

The 1ZZ-FE has a serpentine belt tensioner that likes to go bad and rattle. This isn't the pulley, it's the tensioning mechanism making all that racket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj4TKozDPVk Replacing this tensioner is fuuuun because you have to unbolt an engine mount and jack the engine up so you can remove the long bolt that holds it in place.

STR posted:You have to do this on a lot of Hondas for one of the V belts too. Ugh, the VTEC-4. Theoretically, the timing belt & water pump can be changed with the motor in the car. This theory does not allow for large fat people with giant sausage hands to work in a space 1" wide, and it's still a bitch even with the driver's side wheel & inner fender well removed. Fortunately, the engine had decided it's time to run as a pre-mix (especially through #1) so we'll be replacing the motor later this summer with one of those used JDM (allegedly) long blocks (along with every conceiveable peripheral & clutch pack). Until then, I'm tempted to test Marvel Mystery Oil or something that's supposed to PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Jun 20, 2019 |
