Timing Belt Question?

Gotta 94 LT1 and my damn Timing belt likes to slid off my crank. I have allready placed thread locker on the hub bolt to make sure the hub doesnt slide off. Can anyone recomend any ways to keep my timing belt on. It likes to slide off the hub.

Your timing belt? Lt1's have a timing chain. Are you talking about the accessory belt that runs the alt., power steering, A/C, etc?

If your hub is slipping, then you need to get it keyed. But, that shouldn't happen unless you're running a high-PSI supercharger...

If your accessory belt is slipping, then you need to check it for oil or coolant, and if it's clean, then start looking at the pullies to make sure they're all aligned properly.

Make sure your belt is good. Make sure pulleys are aligned---you can use a straight edge to determine alignment. Make sure your idler pulley (the one that doesn't run anything but keeps tension on the serpentine belt) is tight and not really chewed up, in case a replacement might be in order.

Shouldn't throw belts if right belt and everything else is ok. JMHO

Have you checked the damper to make sure the rubber ring that holds the inner and outer steel rings together isn't cracked, allowing the pulley to wobble?

Also check the bolt holding the hub onto the crankshaft. Hard to believe, but I had that work loose at one time and I was having the same problem you are with the belt.
