its not to bad a job anyway,just take your time,aslong as you have the correct tools/materials then you will be fine

Can you list the gaskets I need etc...

 

Obvioulsy I will need an oil pump.

 

But what else?

make sure you have a good quality auto sealant idealy the black auto stuff you can get,i find red/blue instant gasket to be shit

 

sealant for sump,bead all the way around, including a blob under the corners of each rubber seal at front and rear of sump,and a film of sealant over the seals themselfs,obviously remove every trace of old sealant from sump face and block

 

check oil strainer o-ring and use a small film of sealant where it joins pump

 

oil pump gasket which will come with pump

 

oil return feeds from sump-turbo. new ones required idealy,check old but simple to replace.

 

crank oil seal which sits inbetween oil pump housing,shares the same name as cam oil seal there the same size

 

as your removing the cambelt you idealy need new cambelt and tensioner,and then you could argue is the waterpump due renewal as your there,but if moneys tight cambelt and tensioner will surfice

 

thats your lot as far as gaskets are required

 

HTH

I just done the cam belt and tensioners as we thought that was the noise!!

 

Water pump done 2 years ago, only done 15,000miles. Not really worth doing?

 

Thanks for all that info!!!!

I know you have just done the cam belt but it might be worth noting that you will need to change it again!

why will it need changing again after 2 weeks?

Thats what I thought??

Normally once it has been fitted and used you are supposed to renew the belt once removed! Its not like a Accessory Belt! it is a recommendation by all Timing belt manufacturers.

MY Timing Belt is only a Couple of months old!! and has done less than 600 mile's but as it will all be apart i may as well change it for the sake of £42.

On this Engine i would not take any chances! But its up to you! Some people will take a chance, some people will not!

Mines done 0 miles and about 2 minutes of engine running!!!!!

Well i would not worry too much then! I thought you had been using the car :rolleyes:

thats fine then,so if the tensioner is new,you will need to place the small 10mm bolt back in the tensioner arm so it dont open right out!!

Got that in there still mate. Out about 3-4mm

perfect,a simple way of getting it spot on if your paranoid,is to open gap until the open end of a 10mm spanner sits in with some resistance
