OH HEY WAIT STOP YOU HAVE THE BELT BACKWARDS

ARROWS POINT OUT!

 

Thanks for that. I'll check it here in a sec. Food...

 

Good

 

read above.


left cam is the driver side. right is the passenger side.

 

Well fuck. Good thing I asked then.

 

its what im here for!

 

So I need to put the pin back in before it 'splodes?

 

if you pulled it take the whole tensioner out and you'll need a vise to recompress it. GO SLOW. or you can damage it.. once the hole lines back up put that in and your ready for Round 2

 

Got it. Thanks yet again.

 

It's bad. Makes it even more fun when you tell everyone in the east coast bars that it sucks and watch them cry about it!

 

ive always used a vise.. honestly you can technically just leave it extended on the 4.7 and slowly bolt it in.

 

Shit like this is why I didn't want to do the cam seals...

 

you actually have the easy cam seals.
no VVTI actuators.. you can just unbolt your cam gears and swap em out.

 

Speaking of that, the FelPro valve cover gasket set came in earlier. I'll have the covers back on tomorrow and hopefully the intake too. Then I can refill the coolant and see if the dings I put in the radiator are actually holes...

 

That's a lie

 

I was over at Anheuser and they were lowering their keg orders and uping their 30 pack orders of bud light because no ones going to bars and everyone is home drinking

 

@Empty_Lord, still off by a tooth on the crank. I was able to get the pin back in the tension but haven't installed it yet. Do I just fuck with the belt until I get the crank lined up or do I start over somewhere?

 

I line the crank up first. Then the 2 cams. Leave the tensioner out conpletely and it’ll buy you a hair more
Room

 

Roger that. That's what I was thinking I'd try.
