just wondered why my timing belt is almost half the width it was originally would it be the tensioner or do you think it miht be the gears? i wanna figure out hat would make it slide out like that before i put a new belt on and wreck it too.

Yea. Basically running with the timing belt is 3 pullies: tensioner, idler and crank. Then it goes around the 2 cam gears for the camshafts if you have a Zetec DOHC.
Do you have a picture of the timing belt?
Peace...
Cool, thats what i thought, I dont know trhe names of lots of parts in the car. lol
The timing belt doesn't go around the cranky pulley, the serpentine belt does.
This is too funny. Buy a how to book for dummies.
actually both of them go around the crank one drives the accesories and the other drives the cams
i noticed some wear on the outside edge of the gears so i'm gonna just replace them and go from there
I still don't know what the hell belt you're talking about.

You don't see this belt. It's under the upper timing belt cover. He sees it because I think he doesn't have the upper timing belt cover on his car with the adjustable cam gears.
Ah so we are talking about the timing belt afterall, now I gotcha.
Yah I've also got adjustable cam gears, without the cover.
I actually had a verbal fight with the Service Writer whether or not I could see my timing belt :lol:
So you have the adjustable timing gears and just left the upper timing belt cover off?
Yup, otherwise you can't adjust them.
How often do you adjust them?
