Cant install timing belt correctly - 2001 Hyundai Accent

Hi!

The Mitsubishi Pajero with the 6G74 engine has different timing belt configurations depending on the year and model. According to the manufacturer's specifications, the 6G74 engine typically uses a timing belt with 259 teeth, but some models may use a timing belt with 265 teeth.
To determine the correct timing belt for your Pajero 6G74 engine, you need to check the owner's manual or service manual for the exact model and year of your vehicle. Alternatively, you can contact a Mitsubishi dealership or a qualified mechanic for assistance in determining the correct timing belt size.

If the belt that came off your engine has 259 teeth and the new belt in the kit has 265 teeth, it's possible that the incorrect belt was fitted. However, it's also possible that the previous owner or mechanic installed an aftermarket timing belt that doesn't match the manufacturer's specifications.
To verify that the correct timing belt has been installed, you can count the number of teeth on the old belt and compare it with the specifications in the owner's or service manual. You can also check for any markings or part numbers on the old belt to ensure that it matches the recommended part for your engine.

If you're unsure about the timing belt on your Pajero 6G74 engine, it's recommended to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic to ensure that it's the correct size and in good condition. A faulty or improperly installed timing belt can cause serious engine damage and should be addressed immediately.

Hope this will help you!

Kind regards

Put the Crankshaft to TDC, then roll it back a quarter turn to allow the Camshaft to be rotated into the proper position. Once the camshaft is correct, roll the crankshaft back to TDC and install belt. Having your crank at TDC will not allow your valves to open and close (interference engine).

look man a mechanic is a guy who can change parts on ur car till it fixes it u need sumone to trouble shoot y did u change timing belt did it skip teeth good one day next start wont sounds more electrical or ignition do u have alarm system

Sounds like timing belt not on correctly. Check timing marks are aligned correctly when installing timing belt. This vehicle should have 2-3 marks to be aligned when installing belt.marks should be on cam gear/ crankshaft gear and intermediate shaft if engine is equipped with it.

Why remove the gears? No need to. Just be sure they are clean of any belt residue. The gears are locked in the correct position for the shafts.
You need to rotate the gears to position the shafts (Crank and Cam) to the correct position before installing the belt. Follow the instructions that should have come with the belt. Usually need to line up some marks on the gears to marks on the engine case for the valve timing to work right.
Pull the spark plugs so you can turn the crankshaft easier (BY HAND ONLY) Mark the wires to reinstall correctly. I did this a long time ago. Seem to remember pointing the mark on one gear to the mark on the other gear. Use a straight edge to line up the two. Dont take this as gospel.
Good luck.

If you installed the timing belt correctly, you won't need to adjust the timing. If your timing is incorrect after doing the belt, you'll need to remove the belt again and install it with the cam and crank marks lined up properly.

TIMING BELT
Removal
Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect intake air temperature sensor connector from intake air duct. Disconnect the air intake tube from the throttle body. Disconnect the breather tube from the valve cover. Remove resonator from throttle body. Remove air filter housing.
Raise and support the vehicle. Remove right front wheel. Remove right front splash shield from wheelwell. Remove serpentine accessory drive belt.
Remove crankshaft pulley bolts. It is NOT necessary to remove crankshaft sprocket center bolt. Remove crankshaft pulley. Lower vehicle.
Support engine assembly from above with Support Fixture (J-28467-B). Remove engine mount bracket from timing belt end of engine.Remove power steering hose clamp bolt, and position hose away from timing belt cover. Remove front timing belt cover. Using crankshaft center bolt, rotate crankshaft one full turn clockwise (as viewed from timing belt end of engine).
Align mark on crankshaft sprocket with notch at bottom of rear timing belt cover. See Fig. 4 . Align camshaft sprocket timing marks with notches on valve cover. See Fig. 5 .
CAUTION: Engine damage could result if camshaft sprockets are not properly aligned with notches on valve cover.
Loosen the automatic tensioner bolt. Use an Allen wrench to rotate tensioner and relieve tension on timing belt. Remove timing belt.

Installation
Ensure crankshaft and camshaft timing marks are still aligned. Install the timing belt. See Fig. 7 . Turn the timing belt tensioner counterclockwise to tension the timing belt. Turn tensioner until the pointer aligns with the notch on the rear timing belt cover. Tighten automatic tensioner bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
Using crankshaft center bolt, turn crankshaft clockwise (as viewed from timing belt end of engine) 2 full revolutions. Ensure timing belt tensioner pointer is still aligned with notch.
If timing belt tensioner is correctly aligned, install timing belt cover. See Fig. 3 . Install the engine mount bracket on the timing belt end of engine. Position power steering hose in place, and install clamp bolt. Install crankshaft pulley. Install serpentine accessory drive belt.
Install right front splash shield. Install right front wheel. Install air filter housing and resonator. Connect air intake temperature sensor connector. Connect negative battery cable.

Yep they installed the timing belt or chain incorrectly. They didnt have the cam and crank timing marks aligned when they put the timing belt on.

check to see if your markes are correct if they are do a comprestion test on it to see if you maybe bent a valve and check for vacume leaks

Remove the timing belt cover. Set the crankshaft/piston in the correct position. Now check to see if the camshaft sprocket is align with the witness mark. Both the crankshaft and camshaft has to be aligned else your timing is off and you will have to take the belt off and re-installed correctly. Even if off 1 notch.

Hopefully you will never buy another car with a timing belt. It's a false economy saving.
