Major Problem!

Recommended Posts

well over the past week i been doing a major service on my car. i know this only takes a few hours if done in one go but didn't have the time.....well when i took everything off the car was top dead centre. i replaced all three belts, i also replaced the water pump to a gates waterpump, and put new tensioners and a gates racing timing belt, well i finally got all done everything was top dead centre belt lined up and everything was good. i then put everything back together and finally started her up, everything was fine except for the HUMP in the idle which i thought it could have been just the crank angle sensor. so i took it for a short drive up the road this is where my nightmare began,

i got the car to second gear and got up to about 4500rpm with only like 3pound on and my car started shaking like no tomorrow, the car died and i started it back up i then noticed NOW my clutch fan is wobbling like a SOB so i limped it home about 100 metres up the road and the car is really bad vibrations through the gearbox and the motor.

question is do you think i BLEW MY MOTOR???????

i am not to sure if i did and now i dont even know where to start checking

please help thanks

yea the belt is sitting right on the cam gears....dam cant figure it out, if i spin the clutch fan by hand it spins straight, but when i turn the motor on it wobbles but the pully still looks straight!!!!! cant figure this one out

THE RESULTS!!!

went back and got a new water pump and put that on. it was a jap made pump so i trust it more than the last one. timed everything back and put the car together started her up i knew it was do or die so i was expecting the worse and my motor to shit it self, well started up and fired up just fine. took the car for a drive and runs better than before, never knew a fan could cause so much trouble but obviously with all the weight on it....it shook the whole car. but as end result everything is fine and working as normal
