Timing questions

[rik220]

Hi all,

I am going to change the timing belt and dephaser on my replacement engine next week before I get it into the car.

Is it required to replace the crank pulley bolt? Seen some people saying they don't?

Also where is the timing belt guide on the forum? (I am a paid member)

I think there may of been a weap from the rocker cover on this engine. If I remove and reseal will I need to change the cam seals at the pulley end?

Cheers,
Rick

replace the crank pulley bolt

Depends if its been over tightened in the past, you can measure the length and check against the workshop manual.

would be daft not replacing cam seals. every time i've checked a crank bolt length it's been within spec, cheap enough to replace anyway though.
