Moz_Goodwood 0 Posted November 20, 2008 how tight should a cambelt be on a 2.0 8v turbo, the engine ive recently aquired looks quite loose you can almost turn the belt a full twist if you know what i mean i'll change the belt, tensioner and water pump anyway seeing as the engines out will this cure the slackness if its slack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted November 20, 2008 on the 8v you should be able to get a 90 degree twist on the longest run without excessive force. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 16 Posted November 21, 2008 I think that's a general rule for most cambelts. Seems to come up in a lot of Haynes manuals anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
