Allenm, is this something you feel you can tackle with advice here, or do you need help with it?

I could maybe tackle it with lots of advice,  I could hook up a webcam to a laptop and send proper images via Skype.  Some clear pictures of it being done would be the most help, you got an idea yesterday, I am a REAL stranger to that engine bay!!

I suppose the main concern would be if I put on a new belt etc and managed to put the rest of the stuff back together and it didn't work I wouldn't be sure if it was down to my incompetance or that the heads are knackered!

Now if I could just arrange for Nottingham to be 6.4 miles up the M1 instead of 64 :(

Also, just remembered that the connector on the multi-ram was torn aswell when we took it off yesterday,  Picture below, anyone know what the part number for this bit is?  is it just the rubber elbow or the whole lot needed?

Its just a t-piece, though I'm not convinced that the other pipes are long enough. Double check if it looks like a fresh break, but that appears to have been like that, looking at the way the pipes were laying...

Had a look at the t-connector,  you're right it will probably glue.

Just been reading the haynes on changing the cambelt,  and am now not sure it is a job I could tackle :-/  

Were any step by step pictures taken at the cambelt party?

The T piece is small ;)

In that camlock kit I left there, there are some instructions...  ...might be easier than the long winded Haynes ones...

OK, Bite the bullet time!  

Sorry this is going to be a long one..  I'll try and break it down a bit.

1.  What is in the cambelt kit?  Haynes talks about needing new bolts for everything
2.  What else needs to be bought?  (Water pump) anything else?
3.  How do I get these part on TC?  do I need a card, or can I just "borrow" a number
     or does the card holder need to get the parts
4.  Can anyone fairly local to MK ( or Brum at a push) help with the Trade Card

Now it gets scary  :-/

5.  All the documentation on changing the belt talks about TDC.  I can't reconcile the position of things now with TDC,  so have no confidence of following the guides.  Theboy fitted the locking kit (Thanks mate!) so I am sure it is right,  but I don't understand it.  Pictures below show the current position of things.

Left hand side


Bottom


Right-hand side


Close ups



Is this the water pump that also needs doing at the same time?


6.  (sorry still going),  I can't see any info on changing the tensioners and rollers, it all seems to relate to the belt, any info on this anywhere?

7.  Last one honest!  The books talk about tightening the bolts to a specfic torque,  is this required?  and if so, can anyone recommend a cheap torque wrench, I can't seem to find one that goes below 28nm


Sorry for the enormous post.  If this needs to be in a new thread please feel free to move it, or tell me to re-post in a new one.

Cheers
Merv

That camlock is in wrong place, as cams have slipped....  ....pull it out, and remove the gadget on crack.

Mark posted above about setting to 60 degrees before tdc - follow those instructions.

I currently do not have my TC card, so can't get one. The part no mentioned by mark contains all you need for cambelt. Water pump is about £20 + VAT, and antifreeze is about £7 + VAT (TC prices).

Turn engine over as is to 60 deg before tdc and pop the belt off, the cams will spring but that doesn't matter. Then rotate the cams to the alignment marks and re-fit the locking tools.

Bring crank back to TDC and fit locking tool....then fit belt as usual...

Can you put this into language a child would understand :-[ or better still a diagram of what things should look like at each step.  

God, I am looking a right thick Basteward on this thread  :'(
