I got that, the blanket statement he made is retarded...mine is interference too.
He has a 91 940SE in his sig. The non turbo version of this car was 16v.........Obviously the 16 valve is. I was referring to what he had in his signature
UPDATE:
Went over, compression was 125ish on all. No bent valves. But I still dont know what caused it to slip off. SO here are the things I replaced.
Cam,
Timing Belt,
Tensioner Pully.
Also the wear marks are not lining up with the belt on my cam gear, is there a spacer for behind the gear?
There was oil coating the belt too from a leak that I caused and just fixed.
Could any of that be the problem?
Would oil cause it to move enough to fall off
Also worth mentioning there should be 2 washers at the crank gear, correct?
I don't see why that would cause the belt to slip though. flat pulleys usually have the crown in the center to help the belt stay centered. Do the gears have a crown? Don't confuse my question as a stab.
I might be wrong but I feel the tensioner is doing most of the work keeping the belt on. If the gear is off 1/16". it'll probably wear out quicker, but it should run.
Ah Nevermind I was thinking that belt slipped *off* the gears, not jumped time. My apologies. I agree that if not tensioned properly, it will probably easily slip time.
I have a cheap tensioner on the wagon right now I think, and every time I loosen the tensioner nut, the tensioner bends outwards. Cheap piece of crap. I thought I bought the INA too which I heard was better.
Sorry I should have explained better. It slipped off completely.
