cambelt.
i have been told on another forum you have a cambelt when the head gasket is done. is this true ir not. do they need to come off when the head is taking off to be skimmed
|
Yes, when stripping an engine to have a head gasket fitted or head skim, the belt has to come off as a matter of course. It is prudent to replace it these days, considering how much they cost versus possible costs if the belt lets go for any reason.
|
When the engine is down you may as well replace it. Saves you paying for the labour twice over.
|
yeah as above really, you might as well do it now while the engine is in bits anyway
|
... and it was me that told you that ;)
If the cam belt has been used for more than a couple of thousand miles it should not be put back on, as they stretch slightly. |
