what are the setting for the timing belt on a 1984 for ranger 2.3 engine?

Answer 1

Remove Thermactor pump drive belt, then the fan and water pump pulley.
Remove alternator drive belt, then drain cooling system and remove upper radiator hose.
Remove crankshaft pulley, then the thermostat housing and gasket.
On models equipped with power steering, disconnect power steering pump from bracket and position aside.
Remove timing belt outer cover attaching bolts and the cover.
Loosen belt tensioner adjustment bolt.
retract tensioner, then tighten adjustment screw to hold tensioner in retracted position.
Remove crankshaft pulley and belt guide.
Remove timing belt and Replace as necessary
Remove distributor cap, then set distributor rotor to No. 1 firing position by turning the auxiliary shaft as necessary.

Set crankshaft to TDC by aligning the TC mark on the timing belt cover with notch on crankshaft pulley. CAUTION: Always rotate crankshaft clockwise, which is the normal direction of rotation. Reverse rotation (counterclockwise) may cause the timing belt to jump time due to the arrangement of the timing belt tensioner.
Look through the access hole in the belt cover to be sure that the timing mark on the camshaft drive sprocket is aligned with the pointer on the inner timing belt cover assembly.
Remove the distributor cap and check that the distributor rotor is facing the No. 1 position on the distributor cap.



Install timing belt on crankshaft sprocket, then working counterclockwise, position belt on auxiliary sprocket and camshaft sprocket. Ensure timing marks do not change position.
Align belt on sprockets, then loosen tensioner adjustment bolt to allow tensioner to move against the belt.
Remove spark plugs. Failure to remove spark plugs may result in timing belt jumping time during next step.
Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns in normal rotation to remove slack from belt. Tighten tensioner adjustment and pivot bolts to specifications.
Recheck timing mark alignment, then install crankshaft pulley and belt guide.

jack this is a difficult job to do. buy a book at your local auto parts store to help you through it.the settings are in it. i did my share of them the first one was hard, but i am sure a caveman can do it...just have a watchful eye on the two timing marks of your crank shaft and cam shafts, when you put the belt on,get those line up correctly, the rest is cake.....

If you are doing this without a book of written procedures, then you are taking a great risk. There could be some little thing you need to do, and missing it could result in catastrophe.
