Can someone help change timing belt will pay! - 11/26/2006 12:13:31 PM    toddyfresh   Posts: 24 Joined: 10/26/2006 Status: offline He y guys I am new here and have a 1994 3000gt sl dohc v6. I was replacing engine and I got a used one. Before I was gonna put the engine in I was gonna change timing belt. Im not too savy will these cars. I was told to line the marks up will turning the cams. When I did the cam skip a couple teeth on the belt like the belt was too loose. I need someone to replace my timing belt for me and set the timing. The engine is on a pallet on the garage floor, so it is right there to do. If anyone can help I would really appreiate it I would pay you and pick you up at your house whatever you need. I live about 25 minutes south of Pittsburgh. PLEAE HELP Post #: 1

I will give you the link to the 60K service on Team3S website.I suggest you look it over carefully..It was a lifesaver for me. www.Team3S.com/egross/3000gt/60Kpictures/preview_page1.html Im not saying youre valves are bent,but it would be a shame to put it all togther,and hang it just to find out you have no compression.. If you get the proper tools,and download the link above,you should be able to handle it yourself,At least you have youre engine out of the car,mine wasnt...
