20 Valve Blacktop Timing Belt Tensioner Plz Help Mon, 14 March 2005 21:25 Go to previous message
Firstly the car is a 1998 BZ-R 20-Valve Blacktop.

Yesterday I was driving a fairly long journey 5 hours round trip in total, and the car was running fine on the way down and on the way back. Until on the way home I noticed a slight noise from under the bonnet I pulled over to check the noise but it was gone and the engine was seemed to be ticking over fine.

So I came home and parked the car up for a couple of hours, then last night I wanted to go out in the car but when I started it up I got a very unhealthy sound from engine, as normal I was thinking the worst possible things I.E. Big-ends Valves Ect. I switched off the engine and got my brother who is a mechanic to take a look at it he said the noise was coming from inside the timing cover and not the engine, so today he took off the timing cover and the belt is very slack, he says that the timing belt tensioner is gone. Is he correct or could it be something else?

So what I really need is to know firstly is the timing belt tensioner from a blacktop 20-valve the same as one from a 16-valve 4 AG?
If it is can you please give me the part number for the 16-valve tensioner if not can you please give me the part number for the 20-valve tensioner?
Also is it true that if the worst had happened and the timing belt had snapped or skipped that the 20-valve has enough clearance to avoid damage or am I in deep trouble.

Thanks in advance for any help given on this matter.
