I'm thinking of cams but have just had aux belt and cam belt fitted 1k ago?

Yep never ever reuse them same for the aux belt.
You also realy need the intake manifold worked to get the best out of cams etc.
If youve got something apart then just change it to be on the safe side. the rule ive always used bein a mechanic! better safe than sorry no matter how many miles the part has done! if you do it all you know where you are and everything will be spot on then. at the end of the day its your engine!!!
They should always be replaced its the rules for them. whats the point trying to save a few quid.
Definately!
LOL
well yes I agree on the cambelt, but ive got a customers car in for cam fitting/timing and they told me it recently had an aux blet fitted, I wouldnt fit a new one unless they expressed a great urgency to have one.
It might only be saving £15 or whatever, but it isnt necessary.
I suppose you change your HT leads every time you remove the spark plugs?

1 aux belt. £12
I snapped cambelt along with valves Well cambelt alone £350 for fitment then a few valves head off so new head gasget etc.
Easy to get over a £1k bill.
Change belts!
No but its no where near as bad if a plug lead goes. anything to do with the cam belt and drive assembly then its goodnite pistons, rods, valves, head. your choice mate. just woulnt risk anything. the stuff will have been put on then taken off and then put back on again. just replace it for the cost and youll have no worries. end of.
What should be done and what people do are very different.
I just cannot see the point but hey each to there own.
LOL, yes mate there would be engine damage if the cambelt failed, but i think you SLIGHTLY over exagerating things there
