got the 323 engine in the 318 now and all wired up and sorted :D sounds awesome however...................


there was a rubbing grinding noise i took the power steering belt and alternator belt off to eliminate them but the noise was still there. it would appear that the cambelt is coming forward on the sprockets!!!!! it sits slightly off the front!!!!!!!

i stop the car loosen the tensioner and push the belt back then use a screwdriver to tension the tensioner and then tighten it back up the belt is not too loose or too tight but it just rides forward what guides the belt i havnt put the top cover back on as it appears to have been rubbing on it? and it eventually rubs on the bottom pulley

need help please!!!!!
