We really dont have a vehicle repair forum, so i will try here.
1990 ford ranger 2.3L
My Ranger has some noise coming from the timing belt area. Looking under the cover it looks like the belt is loose and slapping around like a tensioner has backed off or something. I watched/helped when it was done years ago at the father in laws shop. I know how to get to it and loosen tensioner etc. Thats not the question. I also have not got on my ranger forum which i really just lurk on but has every thing related to them, or googled it to find out how to change the belt.
Anyway my question is does anyone know where the timing marks are supose to be? Up, center facing each other? Current belt hasent jumped so i gues i can just rotate till there togeather or whatever. But will i need a cam lock? Do these cams rotate after the belt is removed?
Anyone who has experience on these 2.3L timing belt engines id like to hear from you. Need anymore description or clarity from me just let me know.
