OK i have a 92’ ls and I put a 91 head on it. I put everything back together and i tightn the timming belt, Now its tight but while im hand turnnin the crank there is slack between the cam gears. WTF!:think: please help
After you put the belt on, put a pipe wrench on the intake cam and turn it towards the firewall then make the belt tight
or you can bend a hanger and pull up on the tensioner pulley spring, that’s what I did…worked like a charm.
HTH

can i do that without taking off the timming belt cover?
I won’t say definetly, because I had the cover off, but I think I remember G2Guru telling me he did that with the cover on. Can you see the spring with a flash light? Its up and to the left of the pulley if I remember correctly. Let me know how it goes.

have ur motor at No.1 TDC.
Loosen the tensioner bolt.
Turn the crank 3 teeth, and tighten the tensioner.
turn the crank? or the cam? wont that mess up my timming?
