new timing...questions...

[JAYDEE23]

so i have done all the routine maintenance the dealer suggests and car has ran like new..now has 85000 so it went in for timing and waterpump..my mechanic used aftermarket timing belt...doesnt work apparently..so a stock timing belt was put in. worked but it seems have a tiny shake at idle..slight as it is, my mechanic says its probably me, but this is the reason i do all routine maintenance..i am anal about these things.

he says these cars are either timed correctly or incorrectly..no adjustment..

is this correct?

no one can answer this??

any help appreciated

more questions..if my front 3 cylinders were misfiring does this sound like the belt was on wrong?

could any damage be done running it like this? could this be why i think it runs a bit rougher ?

and finally has anyone used a gator timing belt with success?

the manual (haynes) says that its automatic timing and can't be adjusted. I believe it an be adjusted, but its not like a honda. It has to be taken apart and they use shims/washers to vary the adjustments of the valves etc.
