If it makes you feel any better:

My neighbor had me do his timing belt service on his Ford escort. Last time was done at the Ford dealer and he told me it didn't have the power it used to (car also has 200k miles at this point)

Did the service for him and didn't tell him that it was a tooth off, gave him back the car. Called me next day and said his car never ran so good and jumped up 8mpg! I laughed and told him what I found. A tooth makes all the difference.

Buttoning up my timing job. Did it correctly this time and learned my crank was one tooth off. - SteveAR 2016-10-22 13:42:56 (212 views)
- must have been a tooth to the advanced side, if retarded by a tooth it would run a bit rough, BUT - ar-Rings 2016-10-22 16:07:02 (157 views)
