hello all can someone with renault knolledge help please
v reg renault scenic had a cambelt snap fixed it by changing the head
and fitting new cambelt and kit
first thing to note i could not get the belt to line up with the marks
- locked the crank with correct pin and checked that the sprocket was showing the dot at 7oclock (little bit past 6 oclock)
that was the easy bit
- fitted the belt with the inner line on the dot on crank
- found cam mark and pump mark lined them up with belt lines made sure belt was correct rotation direction
- tightend belt but engine would not turn over as the inlet valve on 1. cylinder was hitting
after a few arguments i decided to retard the cam sprocket one tooth
engine started first try and runs smooth almost there i thought finished putting back together but it goes into limp mode as soon as its under load
as ive had problems with the marks do you think the pump is advanced by one tooth is there any way to check
sorry for such a long post just thought you may need all the facts
