I need to set the valve timing on a 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT SOHC non-turbo charged. Can you send picture please
it is on the front side (timing side) of the block and it is driven by the crank. to get to the oil pump you have to remove the timing cover and the oil pan.
To adjust the timing take off the timing cover,take off belt and then line up the marks on the timing gear.You will need a special tool to hold the gears if it is a DOHC(duel over head cam)
Replacing the water pump and replacing the timing belt are both part of the 60K maintenance.
Are you sure the belt has stretched? 3000gt have a Hydrolic tensioner and the belt can appear to be lose if the engine had been off for a while. Need to replace belt every 60k according to oem specs. I do every 120k
if the timing belt does go on gto it would be a miracle if you didn't bend half of the valves ! its whats called an interference motor. if something gets out of time - you get major interference, costs $$$$$
