My MV6 had cambelt kit, water pump, aux belt, in early January - 5 months ago. Done about 10k miles on it, I think.
If changing the head gaskets, upon refitting, Would you re-use the rollers and get another 30k out of them?
Just wondering what you personally would do...
-
I'd re-use them, and the belt if I could be sure of fitting it the same way round.

I happen to have a new belt sat here :)
Although - I did note direction of the old one :y
-
Re-use
after all you know the history.
-
cant think of a single reason why you would not re use. Apart from the belt direction as said.

im confused about this problem, (DOR) that is, i was always lead to belive that all belts , cam or aux were to be fitted with writing facing outwards :-?
as for renewing i would change it, for what its worth, although it would probilly be fine its always better to be safe than sorry
also in work situation i belive the warrenty would be affeted if anything were to happen

I'm 18-24 months or so into a cambelt kit, and will have the same decision soon, all though a bit easier....
I think for me, replace the kit, but dont bother with the water pump.

No need to change the belt or ancillaries.
It simply needs setting to the used belt tension
