That is a problem but is it the problem that's causing the noise? Was the belt so loose that it was "flapping" and making the noise?

Ducman82

Belts tight. I don't think that's the noise, but it's not good either. I have spare gears ( not as worn). But I'll hold of judgement till I get the cam off

Bill Ball

WOW! That's almost as bad as the gear can get and still run. Somebody ignored the gears at the last belt job.

Ducman82

Going to be fun seeing what the other side looks like

SeanR

Wow, that's a pooched gear. Is the gear torqued down properly?

Ducman82

UGh.......

Bill Ball

Some serious neglect there. What's the timing belt history on this car? I'd be worried about everything on this car and getting caught up on a lot of maintenance. Probably has chocolate brake, power steering and tranny fluid.

Ducman82

actually, new clutch 8k ago, and the engine is the only thing i have not replaced. new PS everything, new brakes, new (redone trans) front and rear bushings.... once i do a motor, all will have been replaced.

I'm tempted to pull this thing....

danglerb

Pull the engine, do it once, do it right.

Ducman82

yup. i decided that this weekend/ next week at my buddies shop we are going to pull it. to much wrong with this one to spend the money fixing it, when i could use that cash to finish my hybrid.

when she is out, any special things i should look at or replace?

danglerb

Green wire looks good.

Once its out, much easier to evaluate, maybe grab some compression numbers first.

How many 928's do you have?

Ducman82

just this one.
