Cambelt Change (timing hole alignment)

[ADV_93]

I kept at it in the end and got most of it off anyway. I used a screwdriver & also sandpaper to try and tackle it!

The new aux belt didn't fit so had to use the old Also I forgot to put the bottom cambelt cover on until I had the crank pulley fully done up and thread locked & aux belt on and tensioned I really didn't want to have to take it all off so cut bits off the cover and put the pieces on that I could fit around, I know it would probably be better leaving it off completely just in case the bits aren't lined up

It is all back together now though & runs! Coolant took a while to bleed but think its good now. Only issue is, I can hear a noise that wasn't there before. It happens when the engine is slowing down again after being revved. Can't really describe the noise but I'm worried it may be one of the covers catching

That's normal pal, it took to of us to get the actual aux belt and timing belt on because they were that tight. You have to get the aux belt off =, then the crank pulley and then the timing cover mate! If the covers catching, turn the engine over by hand whilst pushing the belt towards the engine and then spin it a further once or twice by hand to make sure the belt is tracking true.
