I am getting my timing belt replaced along with all other belts on the car this weekend , at meineke and i wanted to know what should i look for after they are done and how to know that things werent done right, i bought the belts myself from toyota but i just dont trust these guys 100% lol, they pretty cheap which is suspicious. Also i know that the water pump should be replaced with the timing belt , but i will procrastinate on this one

**** !!! , i shouldnt have done it
![]() - engine has much less power - engine has what sounds like an extra click ... i told them right away and they said it might be a lifter and has nothing to do with the belt job !??!? - it running awful and sounds like a meat grinder from 2K-3K RPM .. -i also tried to drive it a bit hard , so i full accelerated goin on the freeway , and the car felt like it was suffering EDIT : timing is for sure off , i am guessing the moron who did the car didn't line up the two cams properly after he set the crank to TDC , maybe off by a couple of teeth which is causing the car to act funny .... now as far as i know , the 5sfe is a non interference engine , which means my valves are getting twisted , but that clicking sound is freaking me out , i will go back to the shop on Saturday and have them check and fix the timing , and if i have problems , i will try to go to some other mechanic , get it fixed , then sue them ... or something lol , i dont think i will get any sleep till i go to the shop , i am really freaking out about this This post has been edited by NaderG: Mar 13, 2008 - 11:29 PM |
