earlyapex, ok. Done deal.

You can vomit now.

See ya back here on the 1st.

 

Jebus, man!

What keeps the "position" of cams vs. cranks as you say, or more importantly, what keeps the "position" of intake cam vs. exhaust cam?

Yep, THE FREAKING TIMING BELT!

And, if you INTSTALL IT INCORRECTLY, that "possition" WILL CHANGE.

And that WILL CHANGE THE COMPRESSION!

If you don't get this, hehe, god bless you, but I cannot make anymore obvious to you.

 

i just said that. "the belt does nothing but keep everything lined up"

 

i understand it perfectly well

 

I am probably playing with FIYAH here but, I think you both are saying sorta the same thing. Alex is saying "Install incorrectly" and from his description, I infer that he means that the belt will be installed incorrectly if the distance between any pieces (cam gears, crank, shaved llama, etc) is different from it's intended distance according to factory specs (trying to put it as simply as possible) a difference in compression will result. It seems like you are saying the same thing, but in a different way (referring to the timing belt's purpose and mission statement).

And on another note - Alex did you have a silver RS w/ WRX sticker on the trunk back in like - '99 or something and autox at Oakland SCCA events? You look like a guy I used to talk to back then. Minus the 40 and bike of course. I had a silver WRX coupe in the UK and was really into RS's when I got back.

so basically alex is arguing to prove what i said in like the 2nd post??

 

Belt's placement has everything to do with compression. Not the belt itself. Like I said wording...

Jacob, yes, that was me in Oaktown.

 

sounds like someone is trying to argue just for the sake of argument

 

1) read what alex said
