Ace-Garageguy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Well, so much for best-laid plans gang aft agley. I'll be spending the rest of the weekend doing a timing belt on a PT Cruiser...a beeyotch of a job and the SECOND time this particular friend has let the belt go WAY beyond the replace-interval, resulting in failure in the middle of the road.

Tom Geiger Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Saturday- Spent the day painting my bridge. Not the first day of painting and won't be the last. It's quite a project, made even more so by my modeler's knack of over complicating the project with two toning. Worked around 10-5, and couldn't make this old body go any further. Spent 5-6 in the pool. Then made cheese dogs for the wife and Ted. Sunday- Supposed to have friends here for a barbeque.. worried about forecast of rain! Monday- Resume painting if it doesn't rain.

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Wow, how many miles are on it are on that PT and weren't those "interference engines"? It's about 220.000 miles. The 2.0 engine is interference, but the 2.4 isn't (valves don't hit pistons but they MAY hit each other, depending on engine speed at the instant the belt fails). There's a lot of mis-information about these on the web, just like most things. The worst part of the job is the idiotic engine mount / timing cover design that requires FAR more dis-assembly than would have been necessary if the PT engineers had ever bothered to look at how the rest of the world designed transverse-engine mounts for DOHC engines. The downside of this job is that the last wizards who did a belt on the thing also did a head gasket, and apparently used a Chinese "exact replacement", didn't get the block and head mating surfaces perfectly clean, or incorrectly torqued the head. The head gasket has been leaking combustion gas into the coolant for over a year now, but I've managed to keep it contained. I'll be doing the head gasket as well, a quick valve-job, etc. while I'm in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
