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

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

POPEYE

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

POPEYE
