2.0 DOHC motor timing belt/crank problem

I have a 99 Excort ZX2 Sport with the 2.0 4 cyl Contour motor in the shop that has numerous timming belt problems. Shop says there is play in the crankshaft that is causing the problem. Any ideas.

Re: 2.0 DOHC motor timing belt/crank problem

no, it sounds like they don't know how to time a VCT motor. Never heard of "play in the crankshaft" they probably have the exhaust cam way off timing, and they're using "play in the crank" as a excuse.

What does your car do? bog tons untill you get up to the higher RPMs?

My contour did that, but its a NON-VCT motor, the intake cam was off 5 notches..

I went to the shop and the tech showed me if you
put a pri bar between the case and the timing wheel on the crank it will move in and out about 1/8 " and that is the amount of the grinding that is wearing away the timining belt.

Re: 2.0 DOHC motor timing belt/crank problem

there is no wheel on the crank(for the timing anyways), its a little "gear" that the timing belt connects to for the timing, the pulley is for the serpentine belt
