I dont know mate. I bought a complete car and removed this engine to go in my restoration project. It had BD10s and machined pulleys but these were removed before I bought it and 4x4 cams were put in their place (which i didnt know). I have exhausted all other posibilities and I thought the only thing causing the belt movement could be the cams sitting out of position due to the absence of the spacer.

I also have an oil leak from the cam seals (these are 2wd seals that I fitted, as I was not aware of the cams being 4wd)

Its starting to piss me off now, Ive been at it for 10 months restoring the car and every time I get to the stage where its nearly done, something else happens. Its supposed to be going for its MOT tomorro @ 11:30 but im not taking it anyware if the cams are gonna lock up and fuck the engine.

I will have to whip the cam cover off in the morning and see whats going on. Im hoping the spacers are there, but even if they are, i have no idea if the bearings are correct and if the seals are wrong.
