What else should I change...
« on: 22 July 2010, 11:57 »
Firstly, apologies if this has been covered before, but I just can't find it using search.

I'm getting the timing & alternator belts done on my valver soon. What else should I be looking at replacing whilst its being done?

Help appreciated

Just give it a good service at the same time, new oil and filter, air filter and pollen filter, plugs and leads, fuel filter and give the throttle body a damn good clean. Clean up the rotar arm and dizzy cap and then it will run at it's very best.

Tensioner is worth replacing.

Thanks guys.

I've thought about all of the above already, and I'll do the servicing myself. But is that really all?

No mechanical parts that I should look at whilst its all off?
