alright so my tensioner for my timing belt has been coming unhooked, luckily both times i caught it before i fucked my engine over. can someone tell me if theres a special technique to get it on correct. i would really like to keep the radiator and core support on the car. i have got it back on twice so far but both times in last a few hours then randomly came off. the car had the timing belt done at 110000 miles its at 137000 now.

thanks

 

sorry its a belt not a chain


thnaks

 

what do you mean "unhooked"? And how are you catching it before your motor gets fucked lol?

 

alright theres a little hook type thing that pulls out and hooks onto the tensioner "bolt" i guess you would call it which puts tension on the timing belt. it pops off and the timing belt start to have slack and i can here it start to make noise so i shut it off and coast to a stop.
