for sure. I marked where the IP was and after installing the TBelt last night i know what you mean by the cam sprocket. Its the last thing to be tightened when doing this. I probably had to install the belt 5 maybe six time before i got the IP and crank at TDC. Then with the cam locked, i tightened the cam sprocket to the specified torque (45NM IIRC). Should be just fine. Should atleast run
. Hopefully it wont leak.
I also did not get the head resurfaced. It looked really clean once i attacked it with gasket remover and a plastic putty knife. Could these pose serious problems? I really only had a bad oil leak and traces of coolant in the leak. Plus the engine never even came close to overheating. Waht are your thoughts?
It says i need to run the engine to warm up then take the VC off again and tighten another 1/4 turn on the headbolts and again after 1000Kms, any thoughts on this?
Oh and i found my intermediate shaft seal slightly pushed out after removing the sprocket to change the waterpump. I cleaned it and pushed it back in. It's only 30,000kms old so i didnt bother changing it, and it wasnt leaking, just not flush.
Gotta change the oil, pour new oil with the VC off to lubricate everything and fill the coolant
Then the dreaded first start
. I'm honestly scared
