Omega General Help / Re: F up diff nut turns... Help!!!!
« on: 20 June 2016, 23:41:50 »
i had a new seal fitted to the diff on my dads 3.2 a year or so ago., took it to hardy engineering in leatherhead to make sure the pre load was set correctly, all good untill the cam belt rollers gave up the goast and trashed the top end :'( take it to a specalist and get it checked and set properly.

the cam belt is behind the cover on the front of the engine and is not visable to the eye unless you remove the cover, the belt that you can see is the aux belt.
if no cam belt history you can find then get it changed with the rollers asap, its the rollers that are more likely to fail than the belt, but just fit the compleat kit to be safe, by the way take it to someone who has the correct locking kit to do it properly or get someone on here to do it for you.
, that way you will have some piece of mind that is was done properly

During the week my v6 developed a top end knock/tap that was evident more on the near side head.
It was evident all the time even more so when cold, it was not a lifter tick more of a knock, so today i had a look and found not only the cam cover leaking oil into no 3 plug well but no 5 plug was lose, i must have got 2 turns on the plug and the sound has now gone, checked all the others but all now ok, just the cam cover to do now. ::) not long been done so a bit miffed at that. breathers where all cleaned and blown through with an air line and new seals fitted with a cleaned throttle body. cam covers where tightned to 8nm with a torque wrench so i know that was not the cause.
Half moons are in place as i can feel them when i get my fingers down the back of the cover, black goo used as well.

if replacing the omega was on my agenda then i would seriously consider either the wv pheaton 3.0 td v6 or the honda accord, not the current one as outa my price range but an 08 plate EX spec.
Slightly off topic, i bame jamie for that.
