1989 Toyota 4x4 truck with 22RE engine.

How could my timing be off by HALF a tooth? I thought that it would have to be off by at least one whole tooth.

I guess it could be off by half a tooth if the belt was "tooth to tooth" with the other teeth. But there's no way that would happen.

 

Probably a slip of the tounge.. Who said it was .5 of a tooth??

 

top gear allows cam to rotate at different speed of the engine. if just the top gear got jumped by one tooth, it would set the bottom off by half a tooth. at least it makes sence to me.

 

No belts in the 22RE. The timing set is chain drive.

Forgot to attach a picture. It's not my engine. I got it somewhere off the net. Don't remember whose.

Couldn't it stretch to be off half a tooth?

 

i replaced a couple timing chain kits for people and the new kit was off half a tooth. my personal truck is like that to. when you put the crack mark at o degrees the cam mark is 1/2 tooth towrad pass. side rite? if it is you have nothing to worry about .
