Timing/cam belt change

Hello folks,

 

Can anyone tell me if, when a timing/cam belt is changed, it can alter the sound of the engine?

I have recently upgraded to a 2 litre 170hp and before picking up the timing/cam belt was changed. The engine sounds different to on the test drive.

When in low gears and accelerating there is a reverberation noise. Could this be linked to the timing/cam belt change?

 

Thanks and regards,

Bev

Hi Bev,

 

Usually the only reason the sound of an engine can change after a cambelt change is if the timing is ever so slightly off. Not enough to cause a failure, but enough to make a slight change in noise.

 

That would be my guess anyway....
