    Timing belt skipped on me

    K trucks been driving fine, although the fuel mileage has been pretty bad ever since the incident. Used to get about 200km/quarter tank, now I’ve only driven 140km/quarter tank. I’ve also noticed sometimes the truck will do fine up a certain hill by my house, it’ll accelerate nicely in 3rd and...

    Timing belt skipped on me

    I've ordered a gasket set since the engine is leaking oil from everywhere, including the head gasket. So I'll be pulling the head off anyways, if the valves look bad then I'll take it to the machine shop. Just going off the video, should I pull the bottom end and replace the rings? It's a big...

    Timing belt skipped on me

    I’m hoping not. It is possible it skipped more but then the piston pushed the valves, and in turn, the cam gear back. But like I said I’d probably notice a difference in the engine by now, and it feels fine. If I wasn’t driving the truck when it slipped, and someone fixed it without telling me...

    Timing belt skipped on me

    Interference yes. Although I know it can run with the timing off a tooth as I had it like that in the winter when I did the belt, turned it by hand and noticed it was off. There's no noticeable loss in power, cold starts the same, rattles the same.

    Timing belt skipped on me

    Thats a relief. I did check and there doesn't seem to be any metal bits or anything. I've noticed its always had a slight misfire on cold starts. For all I know one of the glow plugs cold not be heating up the same as the rest. There's a little puff of white/blue smoke during a misfire but thats...

    Here’s a cold start video then. A little shaking at first. The rattling is just the exhaust.

    Yes I did the compression test after adjusting the valve lash to spec. If I were try and adjust the valve when I was 180 off don’t you think it would be tight because the cam is pushing on the rocker?

    I did do the compression test when the engine was dead cold from sitting for 2 days, would that make the results lower at all?

    Timing belt skipped on me

    Although it is possible I’ve always had the timing off a tooth. I remember a few months ago I did the valve lash and they were all way too tight. Maybe now that I aligned the cam properly, now the valves are too loose because they’re sitting on the cam properly for TCD.

    Yeah they’re all adjusted roughly the same. I have no idea what could have moved.

    Timing belt skipped on me

    Okay, I just did a compression test. 325 310 350 345 Toyota recommends 455psi+ but the minimum pressure is 284psi. Maximum pressure difference is 71psi. I'd say the valves are sealing fine, I know there's a bit of blowby and I think the headgasket might need changing soon as its leaking oil...

    Timing belt skipped on me

    The timing cover is damaged at the top and as a result the rubber seal is cut up there, it got caught in the belt finally and that’s what skipped it. I pulled the seal out of the cam gear, it was all wrapped up in it. I took the seal off so now nothing should catch. Now there’s a bit of a gap...

    Timing belt skipped on me

    Last night I was driving home from a friends house when all of a sudden the exhaust and intake got really loud. I pushed the clutch in and the engine died on me. Turns out the rubber seal for the timing cover got caught in the belt and must’ve slipped the timing. However I cranked the engine...
