Timing belt tensioner 2lt v6 galant where is? want to replace front crank seal need to de-tention belt

Replacing the cam seal. You had to pull the timing belt. Because you had to remove the cam gear. This is where the problem is. Reset the timing and follow the manual to exact procedures. I recommend you replace all the timing components. Also, when you set the timing belt tensioner, Pry on it to get maximum tension. Before you put it together, turn the crank shaft two full turns (by hand/wrench/socket. Make sure it is on the marks. then reassemble.

Yes -- the motor is identified as an interference engine and that means in the event of belt failure there will be damaged valves from hitting the pistons. IT is a matter of removing the head and replacing the bent valves . There should be not other damage to the engine . The job in an accredited shop will be around $1000 dollars which should include valves -head gasket kit-new belt- idlers -hydraulic tensioner and cam and crank seals and labour

Don't quiet understand your question...but here's some insight.

The chain is under the valve cover/s ( 1.8t and some 2.8 V6.) and drives 2 or 4 cam shafts.

If it is the VR6 engine then the chain is in the front of the engine.

1.8t has seals on at cam sensor at rear of head and seals at front for crank and cam. To install it needs belt removed for front seals. 2.0 gas engine same except no rear cam seals.

All oil seals are now Teflon and a new instal procedure must be followed. Briefly : Installed dry...allowed to sit 4 hours before engine started.

Post again if this does not answer your question. We need year and model to give you a definitive answer.

1) Belts: Timing belt, alternator belt, A/C belt, power steering belt.
2) Water pump and seal.
3) Timing belt tensioner- option.
4) Front crank oil seal-replace if oil is leaking.
5) Two camshaft seals-replace if oil is leaking.
6) Instruction on how to install the timing belt.

I hope this is the one.

please note that no warranty covers expendables that being filters, belts, brakes , fluids etc when you do timing belt you need to do front engine seals cam and crankshaft seals balancer shaft and oil pump seals. sometimes the tensioners timing belt and balancer shaft tensioners are requested however in most dealerships unless your have been extended bumper to bumper warranty it only covers: power train (major engine parts) not including clutch cover , electricals, suspension and battery so if you do have bumper then they should cover it. but thats in the Caribbean market

it usually is the tensioner replace it

I can tell you the whole procedure. If you would like it please contact me. It would take me awhile to explain the whole procedure on here.

look for weak valve springs.

Which engine? 4 cylinder (2.4 lit) or V6 (2.7 lit)? Two different procedures as well as different belts. The 4 cylinder also has a balance belt. See next image:

Here's the 2.7 V6 belt:


The replacement procedure is nearly the same at the start (removing, accy drive belts, pullys, support engine & remove front engine mount, remove T.B covers, disconnect Cam Position Sensor & Crank Position Sensor connectors, etc.). When you get to this point on the V6, you also have to remove the front engine mounting bracket from the front of the engine (4 14mm bolts, also a 12mm bolt which bolts the dipstick tube to the side of it) Put crank shaft at TDC (top dead center w/ALL timing marks aligned) remove hydraulic tensioner (2 12 mm bolts), then remove the belt. You'll need to recompress the hydraulic (auto) tensioner in a vise and insert a retaining pin through the pin-holes at the top (through the tensioner piston) to keep it compressed when you reinstall it. Otherwise, you won't be able to install it. Assembly is reverse order of dissassembly. Inspect your pullys while you're in there (check for pully bearing noise, leaking grease, smooth rotation, also the water pump pully, etc.) Replace components as needed. Careful not to damage Crankshaft Position Sensor wire harness.

The 4 Cylinder is quite different. You not only change the timing belt, but also the countershaft (balance) belt, which is behind the crank position sensor blade. IMPORTANT: ALL TIMING MARKS ALIGNED BEFORE REMOVING ANYTHING) There are two (2) counter-shafts (balance shafts). one driven by the timing belt, the other by the crankshaft sprocket behind the timing belt sprocket at the front of the crankshaft.
