Prior to #12 above, it says not to rotate the crankshaft and camshaft separately.
Starting at #17, I get confused. Why would I "turn the crankshaft clockwise 2-3 times"? That seems completely contrary to what is said above. Then, #19 wants me to loosen the tensioner locknut again, this time using a feeler gauge. Could someone explain this? |
Good question. I'm following now. Regardless of which vehicle, I've always locked whatever I could to avoid any pulley movement when doing this type job.

they are making it sound way complicated....must be gvt instructions. line up the marks, install the belt (then turn it over by and to check its free) start it up and and drive the damn thing!

Question for everyone. I have seen the "replace at 60,000 miles" mentioned several times perusing these forums. I have a 1995 VG30E and looking at my owners manual it recommends replacement every 105,000 miles.
Am I missing something? Cheers. Jim in STL |
Older trucks are 60k. Belts and pulky tooth design is different.
|
You've got the Round Tooth VG30e, Jim.
Deerhurst, on the other hand, has the Square Tooth VG30i. |
Thanks all for the clarification. Learning as I go...
|
the next time i change my belt im gonna swap to the round pulleys.
|
Anybody know the torque specs on everything that needs to be removed? More specifically, the crankshaft bolt?
