Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a bind, anyone know of anywhere I can order some new timing pulleys? I'm stuck on my timing belt change here, Every time I line up the markings on the timing belt with the ones on the pulleys and go to fire it up it doesn't work. It looks as if the belt is skipping teeth, and upon inspection the pulleys are in really rough shape.
The overhead camshaft pulley is pretty well rounded out and wobbles, the Auxiliary pulley has a massive gash in it (Maybe from a rock somewhere in this vehicles 40 year history), as well as some broken teeth. And the crank pulley is just plain a mess.
My problem is I can't seem to find a factory style set of these three pulleys. The only ones I've been able to locate are 130ish dollar racing oriented ones. And even then they only seem to be Camshaft pulleys. Anyone know where to find some, preferrable without going to the trouble of robbing some out of a junkyard that might be as bad as the ones I've got?
Also I'm open to input on what I could be doing wrong with the timing belt swap, I've followed a few guides and arrived at the conclusion that the belt has got to be skipping. After spinning the engine around a few times the marks on the belt don't seem to realign with the ones on the pulleys.
The car in question is a 1979 Volvo 242 with the B21F (I think it's an F.) engine.
