Timing belt is escaping!

go.stfu · 07-10-2007, 06:15 PM

So I'm driving along in front of a mexican in a neon'd-out El Camino pimped out with fuzzy dingo-balls when I hear a "cruhggrukurkukeherrr" (sp?).

He pulls along side me and I complement him on the fuzziness of his balls and then smile and point at his engine.

He smiles back and shakes his head. He then points at my engine.

So I turn down the euro-techno and realize that the sound was coming from my engine!!!!

So anyways... my timing belt seems to be slipping off. =/ (it's like 1/4 off)

Does this usually happen due to bad tensioners or is there something else I should be looking to replace?

Thanks for the info.
