my problem,s with a 96 Geo Tracker 5spd, 4x4, 4door no A/C
Motor #G16T101544. I'v done the timing belt at around 80,000 mi.
twice in the last 8 years. third times a charm right ? this time at 60,000. (now i know) this time off with the head, new Felpro gaskets, lapped valves, welded cracked exhaust. All back together compression 188 +/- 3lbs.
Now the belt tracks about 1/3 off the front side of the pulleys. wont fall off just wants to stick out so the cover will rub.
I'v got it off again, what could I be missing this time around ?
one thing I forgot, it's got 269,000 miles on it, ran like a champ till the head gasket gave up !
