cheers and beers

 

Thats fine.
phase alignment may be an issue but we can sort that later

 

cheers stu

any hints or tips on changing the cam belt on the 4x4 engine? never done a cosworth cambelt before

 

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN thats all really pal pretty easy a hr job if pulley comes off what happend to magenta one?

 

magenta one is a daily violateor - any who said it was a cosworth - just cos it's 4wd and has a fat pipe


would you want to lend a hand gus - i can supply tea and biscuits on request

 

cut off cambelt off with scissors,cut new cambelt with scissors,put it over the pulleys and superglue together
job done

 

Always tighten tensioner clockwise, use trailing egde of crank sensor trigger ad change tensioner.

Those are all teh tip s you need other than how to align phase sensor correctly.. do asearch on PF for that

 

tea and biscuits,lol
you sweet talker you

 

if ya stuck ill help

 

stu - i'm quite illeterate when it comes to the cosworth engine and doing jobs like cambelt - never done one, would really like someone in the know to oversee as i dont wanna get the cam timing out and have my valves love my pistons

pops ya coont they aint no ordinmary biscuits - they are chocolate hobnobs

 

cheers gus

looks like i'll be spending again tomorrow at the ford parts desk

 

get a gates belt its a 5248xs fits pug 605 diesel aswell half fords price

 

where to get one of them from?

and is ford the only place for the tensioner?

 

roflmao at chocolate hobnobs
gus dont go there,or his nob is gonna look like a chocolate hobNOB

 

only replace tensioner if its fooked and stu has em instock

 

boom my ribs

 

 

To be honest, at 15+yrs old id be doin it anyway.... Not a pretty site when the bearings collapse in em!!

Tensioners about £35 Belt about £35 from memory.

 

stu - i'm replacing everything i can thats serviceable - i dont want the engine to go JUST yet

tensioner is a matter of course - was advised to repalce it everytime the belt was changed

pops - yer only jealous cos u aint getting any good lovin
