ok lang ba na walang tensioner ang timing belt?

[sinister_fadz]

i had my timing belt replaced kasi naputol, tinanggal or di na ginamit ng mekaniko yung tensioner kasi baka yun daw ang cause kaya natanggal sa cam gear yung belt at naputol.. ok lang ba to? wala bang problem na lalbas pag walang tensioner ang timing belt?

[v6dreamer]

Parang sinabi na, okey lang ang may sinturon kahit walang sabitan sa butas.

No meho! It will not work properly dahil kailangan yan due to slippage of the belt if too loose.

kalokohan yun ginawa ng mekaniko mo, teka lang mekaniko nga ba talaga siya? lumipat ka na ng ibang talyer and bumili ka ng bagong tensioner palagay mo na agad.

timing belts work as pulleys, they need to be tightened or loosened and adjusted so they work properly. this is the job of the tensioner.... delikado yan pre, baka maputol ulit yung belt mo.

[XTO]

tsk tsk! ano yan? sando na isusuot lang ayos na. pakabit mo ulit.

[baludoy]

hindi ok iyan bro. kailangan talaga may tensioner. medyo ang mekaniko niyo bro

Every part of an engine was seriously thought out by the designers of these engines. Even the smallest screw, nut and bolt was placed where it is for a reason. The ENGINEERS who designed, made and created your engine has spent more time studying, testing and re-studying and re-testing that engine before finally saying it is working fine.
All belts, wether timing, fan, alternator or whatever, in your engine has a Tightness tolerance ot "TENSION". It was designed that way so that even with the engine running at max RPM the belts will not slip on the pulley. This is the work of the TENSIONER. To keep the belt from slipping even at high RPM.
I'll give your new belt 1 week, ibabalik mo ulit yan sa talyer.

That has to be the dumbest mechanic around and if you keep following his advice you'll be needing a new engine.

Addition to my last. Sa gitara, pag nagpalit ka ng isang string, panget ang tunog. Kailangan lahat ng strings palitan para pantay ang tunog. Ganun din sa kotse. There are areas where a whole kit is required and there are parts na kahit magisang palitan, okey lang. In the case of a timing belt, always remember na this is part of a machine that synchronizes your car's performance. Saan ba nakakabit yan? di ba sa crankshaft at cam shaft. waht does it do? it turns the camshaft in unison with the crankshaft. di ba may setting ang camshaft sa crankshaft? This is to make sure that the valves open and close according to the position ng piston. Kung nasa firing position dapat naka close and valves. Trabaho ito ng camshaft that is driven by the crank. kung may slippage ang timing belt mo, mawawala sa setting ang cam and eventually lead to misfires and damage to your engine. So, naglagay ng TENSIONER to prevent slippage. Maliit na pirasong part lang ng makina yan pero it can do a lot of damage.
Also, remember this. HONDA invested heavily on the training of their ENGINEERS and DESIGNERS to come up with your engine. These people studied not only Automotive but also are experts are MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, PHYSICS and the lot and have spent more time studying than actually working. YOUR MECHANIC MUST HAVE NOT EVEN GRADUATED GRADE SCHOOL o di kaya tapos siya ng 6 mos automotive sa isang tech school sa QUIAPO.

ok, tnx guyz.. ipapgawa ko nlang ulit.. bili nlang ako ng new tensioner.. nong knabit kc yung timing belt, nag.slip xa after test drive, kaya nong binaklas nla ulit, naka fixed nlang tung setting ng tensioner at belt kc baka daw madulas or tumalon ulit yung t.belt.. anywys, magkano ang tensioner? der was no odd vibrations, minsan pupalya yung makina few days before mag.snap yung belt..

Walang anuman sir. Call mo HONDA SERVICE CENTER and ask for the price. Give them the model of your car. You can also scout around Banawe in QC.

One thing lang sir. What did you mean by "naka fixed na lang tung setting ng tensioner". Is it as in Ipinermanente ng mechanic mo yung setting? As in di naglalaro. If he did, Kaya pala nagputol yung t.belt. Sorry sir kung ganito ang ginawa niya but I have to say, BOPOL TALAGA.
My advise, sir, dalhin mo na sa casa car mo. Mahal lang ang singil pero maayos ang gawa (if you trust them).

[sinister_fadz]

the tensioner is still attached pro d na xa nag.aadjust or play.. baka yun daw kc ang cause kaya naputol yung t.belt kc tumatalon or dumudulas daw sa ngipin ng cam gear dahil sa tensioner.. di ko rin nga magetz ang logic kung bat pa yun nakafixed setting.. pro di naman daw maxadong mahigpit yung pagkakalagay ng t.belt kaya di daw mapuputol ulit..

[mbeige]

Well, we gave you all the information you need. If it breaks sooner than expected, you know who to blame

The fact that you don't understand his logic should be enough for you to realize your mechanic is not fixing your car properly.
