Timing Belt Session

[scott.mohekey]

Anyone feel like giving me a hand doing my timing belt etc this weekend? I'm going to start stripping it all down tonight and hope to get it finished saturday.

As for the rain.. I'm going to stop in at the Warehouse on my way home and get one of those cheap gazebos, if they're cheap enough.

Can't help directly but CANDEE should have bulk photos from when we recently did the cambelt on VR4 MAD's car. An in depth cambelt, waterpump, camshaft seals and crank seal article was to come from this but must still be a work in progress. Maybe they could be uploaded here or sent through to aid in the job.

Cheers

I know what to do, I've done an NA 6A13 a couple of times before. Just after some company while I do it really.

word of warning - the exhaust cam on the rear bank is a ****! make sure you have a locking tool for the rear bank. the front is ok tho

[scott.mohekey]

Are dog clips sufficient? I.e. they hold the belt against the cam sprocket, stopping it from turning.

[Subaru ETA]

locking tool would be better - then it holds the pully in place when you take the belt off. some dumb ass thought that it would be a good idea to have the timing mark on that pully right where the cam wants to natrually want to turn, instead of having it where most the lobes are eaither at the high or low point they have it just after the high point so it just wants to keep turning

[scott.mohekey]

Great! What's a locking tool going to set me back?

[Subaru ETA]

i mean if you have help one of you can hold the pully in place with a spanner while the other puts the belt on like i did the first time.

i picked mine up from BNT and it didnt cost too much

[scott.mohekey]

I'll stop in at BNT on the way home then, if they're still open. What exactly are they called?

[Subaru ETA]

cam pully holder thingiee??

[scott.mohekey]

Lol.. not the sort of thing they'd have at repco or the like? They'll be open later.

[Subaru ETA]

cant hurt trying repco

[scott.mohekey]

[Goku]

[scott.mohekey]

The weather didn't agree. So nothing was done.

[Goku]

Lol, We're going to do Tom's beast on Saturday morning, bout 9ish.

[scott.mohekey]

[Goku]

Though it is pool this week, which i may change to bowling this time if people are keen

[scott.mohekey]
