[Shotimes] Re: Broken Timing Belt

Rick,

I'm sure you've already received this info from the other list, but here goes
anyway.

You need to pull the timing vane and crank sensor and inspect it very
carefully. I lost a belt on my old 91's original engine. When it broke, it
bent the timing vane ever so slightly and cracked the crank sensor. I changed
the belt and the sensor, but missed the bent timing vane. I pulled it back
apart and inspected everything closely. I could see that it was actually
bent... but barely. The gap is only 8 mm, so it doesn't take much.
