i have a 91 crx 1.5l and i replaced the stock motor with another stock motor waitng on other parts to arrive for the true swap it is imperative i get this car on the road soon......so i can start the interior work on it at a different location........the engine hasnt fired yet but in the attempts to start it the timming belt is tring to come off even though i have cycled it to try to straighten it??????

anyone know why this is happening......and any help getting this this to fire would be greatly appreiciated........

the engine ran when it was pulled from its old home and had no problems at all?????

and now for some god knowing reason it is giving me alot of problems.....

 

Its sliding off? thats really odd. does it have tension on the belt? is the CAM gear straight??

 

Have you or anyone messed with the timing belt at all?

I'm thinking one of 2 things is wrong.
1) The timing belt isn't tensioned properly because either the tensioner pulley is bad or the belt wasn't tensioned properly when it was installed or played with.

2) One or both of the two alignment plates that sandwich the crank gear might be missing.

 

you were right the bottom sandwhicher on the outher wasn't put on when the cam gear went on thank you ...
