Bloody Tug boat
« on: 22 August 2009, 19:20 »
Stripped out cam and timing belt today, as i wanted to test fit a MK2 cam and change the belt and tensioner.
Cam bearing number 3 is 29mm as opposed to 26mm so i need to grind it down which is better than finding out after i have coated it so i felt happy somthing was going right.......
Upon doing up screws on Aux belt/Crank assembly onre of the buggers stripped out, so i have fitted a slightly longer bolt but it aint great :angry:
Any one have any idea how much the Crank sprocket costs and is it the same as a MK2 cos i a have one in the Garage loft but it will be a Mission to get it down.

Bloody tug boat :grin:

Toyotec says that the mk2 gti cam is a much better cam, better suited to our engines than the lame ass thing in there now..

Don't think it is that much better to be honest.

Got one cheap on here which is better than the one i have sitting around at home, but the new one has an unground bearing in pos three which is baffling me :undecided:
It has the same part no as the other PB cam i have but different bearing size?
Any way had old cam in my engine but found it to lower MPG which was bad for Daily driving but had a lot better pick up and more umpf now the old tug has been relegated by London transports finest i thought i would shove it back in as it was time for a new belt etc.
With regards to the bottom sprocket i am going to drill the threads out and re tap them M10 when i have it off next that way it wont cost me anything and i wont have to climb about in the Garage roof :smiley:

Sounds about right :smiley:
I will shove it up on the Grinder at work and grind it down to the same as the others, but i never had to do it on the other Cam which is ex MK2 (or is it :undecided:) so i am still puzzled a bit.
Now i am not sure if i done the water pump pulley up so i better get outside with my 6mm Key :laugh:

Worth bearing in mind that they are treated I believe so if you grind it down etc to make it fit, it might not last as long as the others.
