This fell down and ending up going between the crank pulley and the timing chain, causing it to jump a couple of teeth. We were really lucky in that while it buggered up the timing, it didn't jump far enough to cause damage. Took quite a while to work out why the timing was suddenly out, as it affected the low rpm a lot more than high RPM. Maybe something like that happened, or as Alan said the tensioner could be not working. Was the tensioner replaced with the cambelt? |
