You have pm mate.

The only place they can leak is from the camshaft seal or the vtc cover plate.Ones an o ring and the other a lip seal.Bit cheaper than a new pulley bud.

You can put me on the list.i have consult and datascan and live in Bristol.

Nothing up with black bonnets mate.Andy and me are very fond of our black bonnets. :D

As i said the new belt will have lines on it that sit adjacent the cut outs in the sprockets.As long as these lines and cut outs are lined up correctly and the dot on the crank sprocket is next to the belt line the timing will be fine.The dimples on the back plates are only a guide as the belt lines are what should be used when timing the engine.If your still not sure id get somebody in to do it for you as a mistake will prove costly.

It doesnt matter if the sprockets move slightly as long as the lines on the belt are adjacent the cut outs in the sprockets then you are still on the money.

^^^^ definately syncro by the sounds of it.syncros will change fine if changing slow but as the shaft speed and gear inertia increases it will struggle to slow them down and cause the crunching noise your getting.

Whats happened to Marcus lately,has he stepped down? he hasnt posted on the site since the end of August.:confused:

youll get a good nights sleep now bud :D

Good to have you back on board mate.You gonna drop the "jet skis and water sports" from your profile now and put your real interests Lol ! .

Its called a radiator support panel in the trade if your ringing around trying to get one bud.

No the thermostat is held and sealed by the the water pipe.make sure the thermostat jiggle valve is at the top or you wont be able to clear the air out of the cooling system.

If the water pipes are pitted slightly where the hose fitted apply some sealer inside the new bridge pipes to prevent any leaks.

275 will be stretched slightly on a 10" rim.285 will look right for the wheel.

If your on about the vtc springs they are pressure fed anyway along the camshaft.The variable timing is altered by varying the oil pressure in the hub.So just install them and the engine will do the rest.

The loom isnt that bad with the engine in place and the bulkhead grommet aint that bad to get at with the battery out.The nause part is the inside.Undoing the loom clamp behind the heater box is fiddly as fook unless you have small hands.Well worth doing in my opinion and worth the money.

Im out on the lash friday the 17th so wont be driving to plymouth for any rolling rd meets :wack:.

Yeh no probs mate.

The guide was great till it got to the "dont skimp on liquid gasket".Liquid gasket is great stuff but has to be applied correctly.large beads on joints can come adrift inside an engine and block oil ways causing seizure.:wack:

Whos up for a pool party at Pauls house,his second name isnt jarvis really but BARRYMORE !! any takers ?:eek:

Pcp i reckon.Anyone that gets hit by an artic and tries to get up has to be wacked out on goofballs !!

A ptu is an amplifier and not a processor,& it switches the primary circuit on and off.a series one will support 450fwhp and some with no trouble.

The old man has dunlops on his zed.great tread pattern and grip in all weathers.Try Cabot si in Bristol the guy does them for a good price and the guys love zeds and are careful with your wheels.

I used Bollington many years ago and the second year they changed all the restrictions and grey imports and modifications were a no no.Tossers !! I took the policy out stating i needed that cover and a year later they refused.

I use the insurance factory in Birmingham.£750 fully comp for me and the mrs with £24000 indemnity.Im on line at work and dont have a number im afraid.
