long story short... i was tryin to take off the "complete" mount of a z6(on the timing belt side) well just under the mount they is a 14mm bolt (it's kinda in the middle, where the block and head meet) well i took the bolt out and a buch of oil started pouring out......so what is that bolt for???? did i screw anything up??? (i ran out of daylight so i didnt take the timing cover off)

That is the tensioner bolt. It tensions your timing belt for timing.

Re-do your timing and tighten that thing.

wow.. it could be possible that you could have oil all over your timing belt now. take off the timing belt cover and check to make sure. i wouldnt just throw the bolt back on there and call it a day if there is oil all over the t-belt.

Just take you crank pulley and covers off and make sure the TDC marks on the crank sprocket and cam sprocket are both where they are suppose to be at, retighten your belt, put you covers back on, crnk pulley, and accs. belts... Shouldnt take u more then 2 hrs with beer breaks in between...

 

Update!!!<U></U> i found out it is not the tensioner bolt (it's above the tensioner!!) it's just below the motor mount (which brings me to my new problem what is that bolt for?(it looks like it's for the mount "plate") remember i removed the bolt and oil came out but i still need to know how to remove the mount "plate" from the block
