had my timing belt changed was told by garage fitted wrong tooth out but having had belt changed pinking still there?

are you sure it's pinking and not noisey hydraulic lifters

surely they would make a different sound wouldnt they?

its like when i come to a hill say in 5th and put my foot down under load it starts when change down to 3rd and give it some beans it stops?

Need some more info first:

 

UK or Jap spec?

 

Turbo or N/A ?

 

Does it make the noise your calling pinking (det) under load / off load or all of the time?

 

Did the garage who changed the belt check / adjust the timing correctly after they fitted the belt?

 

Are you running standard or tuned set up is so what boost level.( if turbo)

and are you running under drive pulleys or not !!

1992 jap import na manual only happens under load,full ss exhaust decatted,induction kit,he said cas looked way out yet after changed looked in exactly same positon,could tell by bolt mark.

hows mY motor looking Jeff ?? :) post a pic or two up if you want bud

sorry for the hijack OOOoOOOOOpPS

id put timming light on to make sure the cas is set right easy and cheap place to start

i had this last week i posted a thread somewhere, was a coincedence.

 

You didnt put the new shell fuel save in that day did you????

standard drive pulleys lightweight crank pulley,no same fuel as always,timing light prob best bet cheers guys.

was just wondering the cas unit is at full adjustment,shouldnt it be in the middle so can be adjusted the bolt i mean as the bolt all the way right if looking from front of car.

Bolts should be more or less central so you can adjust either way.
