Heads Up on Changing Timing Belt on JE48

[pipit@aol.com]

Okay guys, this was mentioned in a previous post but

WHEN CHANGING THE TIMING BELT ON A 929 WITH JE48 DOHC ENGINE, IF YOU REMOVE THE CRANK SPROCKET & FORGET WHICH WAY IT GOES BACK ON ----- MAKE SURE THE FLANGE ON THE SPROCKET IS FACING THE RADIATOR, NOT THE ENGINE OR YOU WILL NOT START THE ENGINE.

I removed mine to change the crank seal & went through many hours of head scratching before finding the previous post & also finding the picture of a mouse caught in a timing belt. Thanks!!

Hopefully this will save someone else from some grief.

Cheers!

Don't thank us, thank the mouse.
