It's a must do thing if you don't want water and muck getting on
your timing belt... You can just fit a wading plug to fill the hole.

 I have been doing my timing belt today and i have got mud behind the timing belt cover :shock: . Boy is it fun i think every one should do one :roll: .

Andy.:
It is a nice piece of kit  :D

You need small hands though to replace your gearbox/transfer box breather bolts  :wink:

I see your timing case breather screws into the obvious place (the inspection hole). Where did you get the modified wade plug?

I have actually cheated a little with the gearbox and transfer box breathers for now as I didnt have time to fiddle around up there :wink:

Porny:
With mantec's kit, you have to modify the inspection plate (the round plate with the three screws) which is mounted on the timing cover in front of the injector pump.

I can't remember if they supply a modified one, or just a boss you need to weld onto it...

IMHO, the wading plug hole is not the best place to fit the breather to, especially as you you not suppossed to leave these in all the time (or at least take them out regually)... the problem with having it at the bottom is that if your cam or crank seal starts to leak, it will start to fill the beather with oil, and if left long enough will start to fill you timing case.

Also, if fitting a breather to any other component you would want it as high as possible, not at the bottom.

Andy.:
Cliff I got it as part of a kit.

I may have a spare one so PM me with your address and if I find it I will pop it in the post  :wink:
