Andy67 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Sorry to hear you have engine problems Tony... What's caused the damage to your cylinder heads....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj30780 Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Andy When I got the engine out, the bolt in the end of the idler shaft holding the cam pulleys had come undone don't understand why yet. Also a large lump of casting had come off the LH cylinder head, the mounting for the tensioner, and where the lifting eye is attached the engine removal. The car is/was used daily, I live in Stockport and work in Crawley, gets two good runs a week (240 miles). Its now got 97K miles on it, bought it with 34K in September 2007. It gets regular oil changes etc. and is surprisingly quite reliable. Changed the cam belts back in October after a cam belt idler bearing disintigrated. Done perhaps 5K since. I know for certain this bolt was not touched then. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Günter Posted January 1, 2010 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 So, haven't you used the right 'threadlocker' on the belt-change ?

rj30780 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 No pulleys were undone, the crank and cam shafts were pegged and the belts changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
