hi all, there is an impreza sti for sale near me, it is spares or repairs
as said in advert :-
The cam belt has jumped one tooth on the exhaust right hand side, i did this by locking out this cam when i fit the new clutch fly wheel and pressure plate.
It does start and run but not very well!!
any thoughts? i dont know alot about changing the clutch really so want to know if this would affect the running of the engine? and do you have to `locking out the cam` as he put it to do the clutch?
any ideas help would be helpful![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

my last impreza i changed the cambelt and it jumped a tooth and ran a bit lumpy that was all, redone the belt and all was fine, just wondering if there was more to it.
i have asked if i can go and have a look.

ok found out a bit more today
he says he changed the flywheel and when tightening it back up he locked the exhaust cam to do it !!![Nono](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/nono.gif)
hence why now its jumped probably quite a few teeth and why its running so badly, a bit more questioning and he says when running it knocks like a good un![Freak3](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/freak3.gif)
think i`ll steer clear as cant be bothered doing with a rebuild.
