Omega General Help / Re: 3.2 timing belt problem

« on: 11 September 2007, 21:31:34 »

once the belt was round all the pulleys the G1 roller should just slip into place..ie there should be no tension on it at all until you start tensioning up. I printed off the instructions but ill post up here with the pics but it wont be for a while as im back offshore tomorrow morning. Oh and yeah i did have to retard 10degrees btdc.

Job done!!  

Anyway i followed the fitting instructions for doing a Vectra C 3.2 v6 as it was the same kit  part number for that as it was for the Y32se.

Everything lined up perfect first time considering there was no marks on the belt, had a little adjustment on the tensioner after a good few turns so im pretty pleased considering ive never seen inside a timing belt case before....lol

Ronald cheers for the pm's,

Ok then

TIS2000, Autodata 2005 pc version and the Autodata manual and the sealey engine timing locking kit instructions show the 3.2 omega (y32se) engine to have an Eccentric Tensioner on pulley G1 and the fitting guide relates to this as part of the installation.

But the Vectra C 3.2 (z32se)  shows a normal non adjustable pulley and relate to turning back the crankshaft 10 degrees etc etc for the setting up procedure.

I have the Y32se engine and my engine code matches the timing belt kit part number 93172354<<<<<< This is the same part number for the Vectra C 3.2v6 engine. ( the one without the eccentric tensioner)

So am i right in saying i should follow the fitting guide for the Vectra instead??

yeah cheers for that folks, find it strange how the new kit from vxl doesnt have the adjustable g1 pulley with it because thats whats on the car at the moment.

How can i retard it 10 degrees from TDC, when the crankshaft locking tool is in place as well as the cam locking tools. Im not really wanting to remove all that while there is no belt etc in place. You be as well throwing the locking kit in the bucket than attempting VXL's cowboy idea of a belt change.

Maybe im being silly, i dunno....lol

Is it really that bad a job to do now!!!!, is there any document that i could print off so i have it beside me when attempting this suicide mission...lol

cheers for the comments

Omega General Help / 3.2 timing belt problem

« on: 09 September 2007, 13:21:04 »

Hi folks im doing a 3.2 Omega engine conversion on my Vectra at the moment. I bought a GM timing belt kit for it and took on the challenge of doing it myself.

Anyway heres my problem, in the picture

Roller guide G1 that i removed from the engine had an eccentric hole which could be adjusted for tensioning  purposes.

The new roller that was supplied in the kit has a central hole so there can be no adjustment made on it.

Has there been changes to the timing belt setup from vauxhall or have i the wrong part?

Also my instructions for fitting the kit relate to the adjustment of this rolller so if vxl have changed things has anyone got the updated fitting guide for this..

Also my belt doesnt have timing marks on it for initial setup either which i find strange.

thanks in advance
