Camshaft sprockets removal instructions

Hello Roy, I got the timing right finally, starting up like it should. What I had to do was loosen the belt enough to turn the crankshaft back to 12 o'clock position and that made the difference. But I've really got major issues now. I don't know how this happened but the car was at an idle and low and behold the belt jumped off. So I don't have to say anymore because you know the results. Heads re-manufactured is $800.00. Not going go there. Do you have any idea what it cost to replace the valves that are bent? Because the rest of the head should be fine being it didn't run hot. Thanks. JC

Wow. I think what happened was a little antifreeze ran down the block from the thermostat housing or where it goes. It was not on the motor yet and of course it's very slippery. So I suspect it ran down onto the crankshaft gear and caused the belt to run off the pulley. Is there anything a person can use to clean that stuff off?
I'm going to put another belt on it today and see if it will start at all. If not I'll pull the head maybe replace the bent valves. And hope their not all bent.
I thank you for all your help. JC Hope you have a good week.

Just wanted to update you on the timing belt on the Kia. No damages were done when the belt came off due to the antifreeze getting on the pulley.
I put a new belt on this morning. And started right up multiple times. All glory to the Lord. And the great mechanics at 2CarPros. Com. Thanks again.

No I did not. I just wanted to make sure it would start first.

Maybe now would be a good time to do that. Right?

Oh okay. I had nothing to hold on it just walked it's way off the pulley. Luckily it was at an idle.

So I started it twice this morning back to back no problems so should I put the balancer back on before starting it again I would think so after what you told me. So I just learned a very important piece of information this morning. Thank you I will start putting the balancer back on. What's the odds of no damages in this situation Roy?

Okay, you think that motor has that kind of compression with 150,000 miles on it?

Okay, I'll probably put everything concerning the timing belt back together. Because this new project is all top end only. But I do agree it's a good idea that way I know exactly what I got. It may be I need to trade it in. I don't think I've got a rering and new bearings in me. To much work. But then again just taking that head off is too much I think for me that is. Thanks. JC

You think so? I wish you were local mobile mechanics or any mechanic.
Around here are expensive. But then again you guys earn every penny that's
fact. I got a price on fixing this several months ago at around 700 dollars. At
The time I wasn't aware of dual cam situation. I have done chains in the past and belts and never had this much
Difficulty. So I figured I'd save myself some money and give me a project to
stay busy too. But had I known this I
think I would have given him the job.

Yes I would never buy a new car couldn't afford the payments if any thing I'd just trade it in and get what I could $500.00. Probably and put $500.00 with it and buy. Three thousand dollar used vehicle. I can get $400.00. From the salvage yard. Hate to do that it's in excellent condition.
