Thread: gtp s/c rotor swap HELP

130kish... see, you know how you get the normal chatter/rattle from the s/c assembly at idle? That sound seems to go away whenever this other noise starts... how would I check for timing belt damper?

just take the timing chain cover off...more complicated than that...maybe someone else can fill u in since i have never done one...milage sonds about right for the dAmpner though

That would be great... any takers? Also, how would one go about REPLACING the Dampener, and do we have a price range?

hmmm...couldnt find the dampner...figured it would come with anew chain...but it didnt look like it...i would change the chain and sprockets too if that the problem...the chain set is 120.00

I was looking at a writeup on a random webpage, and this looks like it's gonna suck... What're the chances that it's NOT the timing dampener, as the front of the motor's on the OPPOSITE side of the throttle body (which seems to be the source...

I'm wondering if it's something as simple as I torqued it too hard and ovalled out one of the holes that the s/c impeller pegs sit in, and that's moving?

at this point man, I'll listen to any ideas... I appreciate you guys even posting up some ridiculous ones LoL.... I just don't really feel like pulling apart the front of the engine (when I work full time, the wife works full-time and leaves the second I get home, and have a toddler and identical twin infants) when time is tight and I can't really dedicate even a solid day, let alone the two I was recommended, yanno?

At any rate, I really REALLY appreciate all the input and suggestions from you guys on the forums and I'm sure whenever this problem gets fixed, it'll be a solution from here.
