cam belt whats the worst

<< < (4/4)

Evilgoat:
Thats an MX5 trick :)

Dont see it though. Possisble the woodruff key could let go but I'd have thought the bolt would be too tight to let the sprocket just spin. Money on the belt :)

eugene:
got it all strip down plus a few knuckle and it was the belt got complete cam belt kit and seals
getting it all put back together next week as swmbo has plans for tomorrow and i cant get out
of them so it will have to wait.is the thread on the crank bolt suppose to be that fine as is has to be tightend
up to 300 what u call it or should i gat new one

Evilgoat:
Bolted tool up aainst chassis leg, then me and burgerman hung off the scaffold bar on the wrecking bar. Threadlocked al 5 bolts too (I may regret that)

bigwood:
I know its bit off track but the bent push rod saga reminded me of a not so professional trick that got me out of the deep and dirty at the roadside. Transit 2.5 DI with busted belt, belt available, no push rods. Take out push rods, roll them on the bench and keep hitting them until they are reasonably straight. That minibus never did get new push rods before a driver down changed fifth to first on motorway slip road and snapped the crank. :evil:

Guardian.:
them old di trannies take some breaking, and like you done, can be kicked back together and be ok again, they were just the best, 1 and only downside was the noise they made.
