My hand...
« on: 18 April 2007, 21:35:41 »
... is NOT broken, as thought, thank goodness. Still exteremely sore, and movement in the thumb is limited ...

Thankfully the whack mostly went into the bit of skin between the hand and thumb...

I'm likely attempting a cambelt on a v6 on Sunday... that should be the acid test ;D

Lesson - if beating something with a hammer.. keep body parts outta the way!!!

Sorry to hear, but still be thankful.  I knew a guy who smashed his thumb working on a car.  The doc asked him what angle he wanted the last joint set at, because when it healed it didn't bend any more.

Yeah.. I'm an extreme novice... never done a V6 belt before. No idea how to use the timing kit, or how to set the tension. Guess I'll just go by the marks on the rear cover. Don't worry about changing the tensioner, it's good for 120,000 miles.

So what time am I coming over?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Actually - when I come to my cams and need to retime the belt, what type of tension do i need to re-apply?

I've got one.  :)

If the belt's used you have to align the tensioner marks differently. I guess this allows for a new belt to "give" a little bit.
