Default Re: 1994 kh laser timing belt crank bolt

Hi

It has all gone well and is back together, but one small
potential problem.

The lower timing belt pulley is located onto the crankshaft with a 6mm square key about 25 mm long.

This key is very snug but is able to move backwards and forwards in the crankshaft / pulley slot about 5 or 6mm. When it does move forward there is only about 10 or 12mm locking the bottom timing belt pulley to the crank. ie 10 or 12mm driving the camshaft.

Is this normal? Someone has changed the belt previously and may have fitted a shorter key. Should I be concerned, or is it normal to have this small amount of key driving the cam?

Thanks
