I think my cambelt had snapped

<< < (2/3) > >>

Axetamer:
Right then, got the bolt undone after making the landrover locking tool and a length of scaffold, pulley is OK, I didn't get it too hot to melt anything

Now have more probs, 2 bolts have sheared off holding the water pump on, 1 bolt has sheared  at the head I'm gonna weld a nut on the end tomorrow and try to extract, would have done the 2 nuts trick but there is insufficient sticking out to get 2 nuts on, the other has sheared well inside, I'm thinking tap out the backing plate m10, but am wondering if the timing belt backing plate is held by the same bolts as I won't be able to use the original length bolts.

It was too dark to whip the rocker cover off, so what damage has occurred at the top is still unknown

piggysteve:
That happened to an old engine of mine so I sold the truck in a fit of bad temper.A week later it drives through the villege, he drilled the snapped bolts out then retapped the block :twisted:

gt.jacko:
I,ve had two cambelt failures on two different 90 tdi,s one caused by fuel pump seal failing and diesel and cambelts dont mix I also had my wading plug in so did n,t see the leak, the second was contaminated with oil both times i only replaced bent push rods and a couple of tappet adj screws no bent valves :D both engines are still going strong several thousand miles later.

Hope this helps

Axetamer:
Opened the rocker cover, rockers and shaft ok, but have 3 well bent pushrods, also the tensioner was full of crud, the bearing hasn't quite collapsed but has loads of lateral movement.

Just waiting for the parts to arrive...but will have to wait for a week for the rebuild..it'll be too dark to rebuild when I return from work

extreme90:
you can get away with one of the bolts being broken off ( dependand on which one that is)
