4 cylinder it is on the end of the head opposite the timing belt. 6 cylinder it is part of the distributor.
the head will need to come off, thread the belt through and, and tilt the head so that you can slide the belt on
The position directly above the head is referred to as "superior," whereas the position close to the head is called "cranial." These terms are commonly used in anatomical descriptions to indicate specific locations in relation to the head.
NO, you do not remove the head to replace the timing belt on any car.
Nothing at all -- it's not an English saying. Perhaps you mean "take a hard-nosed position," which means to take a stubborn position and refuse to yield even if someone ends up getting hurt by your actions.
Below the right head under the Timing cover should be a plug with two wies going into the actual head. The cam position sensor is part of the distributor on the 2.5L V6.It is located near the timing belt cover on the front bank passengers side on the 2.3L V6
Depends on which belt you're referring to. If it's the cam belt you need to check the position of the cam WRT the crank, and also check the cylinder head/valves for damage. Might see enough through the spark plug holes. Any other belt just replace, check routing and tension and you're done.
nothing has only a head and a tail tadpole or coin
depends on the engine if its a single over head cams it has a belt if a dual over head has a chain
The timing belt and head gasket are two different things. To replace the head gasket you will have to remove the head necessitating removing the timing belt. If you are going to replace your head gasket it is best to put a new timing belt, a timing belt tensioner and possibly a new water pump. BMW recommends changing the timing belt every 60K miles and the water pump every 120K miles. The belts and pumps are not that expensive and it beats having to go back in and replace them later. Note that on the M3's there is a timing chain rather than a belt.
Yes. There is a spring loaded arm attached to the block (or head) to keep tension on the serpentine belt. You can tell which pulley it is because it will have a fairly long hex-shaped spindle in the middle (for putting a wrench on to better relieve the tension). Look for a pulley with nothing much behind it.
= How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 2002 ZX2 = Start by making a diagram of the belt route. Have the new belt handy. Raise the car on jack stands or ramps. Locate the tensioner pulley and release the belt tension from beneath the car on the front of the engine. (Bolt head is 14 mm) It will take some work but get the old belt off the car. (Good time to inspect water pump, hoses etc.) Refer to the diagram, route the new belt around pulleys. Leave the belt off the tensioner pulley, and the pulley immediately above it. Push the tensioner pulley back (to release position) and with the aide of an assistant, position the belt on the remainder of the pulleys. Release the tensioner pulley only after everybody is out of the way.
