Hi guys I was driving home today and my belt tensioner pulley broke the car shut off just need help finding the timing to reinstall timing belt

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your 960 is a 2.9L normally apirated straight 6, which is an interference engine. This means that if the timing belt breaks during operation, the pistons will crash into the valves. The valves stop moving almost immediately while the crankshaft and pistons, with more mass, will continue moving. The result is broken/bent valves and possibly damaged pistons. The older 4 cylinder red block engines are not interference engines, so a broken belt is not a huge problem to fix. Re-time the crank and camshaft, replace the belt and off you go.

Unfortunately, your engine will need to be repaired or swapped out. Repair is not out of the realm of a DIY mechanic, but could run close to $1000 to fix, depending on the number of bent valves and/or seat damage. Paying a mechanic will cost significantly more.

 

The timing belt did not break it was the tensioner pulley I reinstalled timing belt and align with timing marks the motor turns smoothly and I dont hear any noises but car will not start any ideas thanks guys

 

As Geemurphy stated, the motor stalled which means it jumped time. Doesn't matter if the belt broke or not, if any component fails, and the belt gets slack, it will lose time, and cause internal valve damage. Thus the reason it will NOT start. Sad to say, it is a silent death, kinda like a person having a stroke or heart attack.

You can do a compression test to determine which valves/cylinders are damaged.





If you need any other information, please let us know.

 

One more for the road.

 

Ok thank you I need help removing the head any instructions would be helpful

 

Rspi thanks for the videos gonna do a compression test and see what I got thanks for the help
