cambelt!!!
« on: 16 May 2012, 20:20 »
Done mine today with water pump easy but that dreaded engine mount took an hour to get back in. Bloody nitemare, took 4hrs in all. Cambelt i took off looked new just didn't have time when previous owner had it done. Better safe than sorry, ended only paying £80 for genuine belt and pump.

Dropping the engine right down is how I do it.  Or sometimes right up.  Depends what other crap is in the way.

The more 20vt cam belts I do the more I appreciate working on my own car! It's so much easier to work in my bay, this is how it's looked for the last year:



Admittedly the engine mounts need changing, I'm already looking at a set of vf engineering mounts before anyone points out how crusty these ones are - I'm considering going for a different look.
