distribution

I have an Astra 1.6 16v Opel from 98, I change the distribution strap, when you take out the crankshaft pulley, the pine

Hello friend if you tell me that the crankshaft piñon was broken is that before changing the belt, it had great damage and those cars when they leave the point cause damage to most of the valves of you have to work

It is a possible posivility that Mondaza says, Deverias Check the point and measure compression, but eye, this vehicle tare the captor of the crankshaft to the Damper pulley if the magnet is broken or the pulley does not remain where to go and the magnet does not take to read then not start, Czech that exists spark before doing any thing.

Good afternoon I think like Kikemac, if the engine worked well before disassembling the strap, it continued to work well after looking at the engine's draft.

The truth, that the initial question should be whether the engine was working before disassembling or not.

If it was working, it would have to do, in agreement with the others, if you have problems with the captor, and if the new pinion has the corresponding drafts for the signal of the captor.

If you had a broken tooth on the pinon, it is generally not so significant and probably the engine will work the same, of course the damage to the strap increased by the damaged edges.

Now, if you changed the strap because it was cut, it is most likely that you have caught valves, that engine, even what you are interferent ...

no matter how much it leaves it well draft and everything, do not start until solutions the damage to the butt, in the best case, and of pistons in the worst case
