Apart from the obvious, is it the water pump wrong or the tensioner bearing? G16B 16 valve motor

[lump_a_charcoal]

You mean because the other side of the belt is touching this side?

It looks ok to me...

Hint - change the timing belt and water pump at the same time...

[royce]

whats a G16b twincam is a good start

I bet tensioner, I think all the waterpumps are the same in that area

looking at it the tensioner doesnt look right, do you have a front on pic?

I was thinking maybe it was a G13 tensioner??

[lump_a_charcoal]

Probably the same as the G13... Looks just like my one, in my 1300... I reckon the tensioner is right, what do you think the problem is with the pictures?

[royce]

they made a g16 twincam?

my single cam g16 16valve tensioner looks the same as a G13 one, and where that bolt is through the bearing doesnt look right

but I could be trippin too

Bwaaha haaa haaa!

Does it have Hilux diffs too?

[royce]

ok so I looked at some pics, yes I am on drugs and thats how the tensioner is

are the pulleys on properly? is the belt rubbing on teh cover?

I wonder if the belt would run out there if both pulleys were on back to front

[lump_a_charcoal]

Could the bearing be on back to front? It looks like it has been like this for a while...

[Scrawny]

Looks like it has done a fair bit of running like this alright. I'm suprised the belt hasn't 'walked' off the pulley. You might be right Lump, the bearing could be on backwards. I just pulled it all off as I'm replacing belt, bearing and water pump.
I'm guessing the apprentice did this one




I had it stuck in my head that 16 valve was twin cam for some reason, even though I knew it only had one cam.... must be the drugs

[royce]

ooo now I looked at the pics properly

looks like the slot for the adjusting bolt thingo doesnt go round far enough, I once saw a 1.3 that it went too far so perhaps its a 1.3 one?

[Scrawny]

There was absolutely no adjustment for the belt, the tensioner wouldn't move to allow slack. You may be right Royce.

Sorry, no front on pics

[nissvit]

can't see much from the angle of the pic.

this is what the last one I pulled apart looked like..

[lump_a_charcoal]

Ah i see the problem now...

Yeah looks totally different to the 1.3 version i have, but remember there is another 1.3 motor, with a different water pump (dont know the number), maybe it is from one of those.

[Scrawny]

Thanks Chris,

mine is definately a G13 tensioner then. They had the spring horizontal and had moved the screw that secures the spring end to the hole you can see straight out from the bearing.
I've only just done a G13 timing belt and I thought this tensioner looked the same.

[11_evl]

isnt there 2 different thinkness timing belts, maybe u have everything to suit the thicker belt bar the tensioner bearing??

[royce]

there is 2 different tooth profiles, but timing belts are a bit universal so its possible somebody could get one too long or short or wide that still fit

[just_cruizin]

Man, stop finding things wrong with my engine OK

[BlueSuzy]

Is that a slight oil leak i see?

Looks abit dusty/oily on the sump

Sori. Is that another problem with your motor?
