Cambelt and matched inlets

[Filippo]

Hi guys. Quick question please. Getting my cambelt done next week and plan to get matched inlets at some point in the future. Would it be worth my while to get the inlets done at the same time? Will I save on any labour for example? Is matched inlets an engine out job? Apologies if this is a daft question...I'm a novice. Cheers

It would be easier to get them done at the same time, but it's no big deal if not.

Inlet change isn't an engine out job. Top inlet comes off in about 2 minutes. Lower one's slightly more tricky but nothing too hard

Might be worth getting dephaser done at same time

It's Birchdown that are doing the cam belt. I know it includes the aux etc but not sure about dephaser. Or water pump too actually. Anybody know?

^nope, not unless you ask them to do it

it would be worth changing the pump while everything is off. Coolant rots seals.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^ive done 6 in 10years, its rare they go

Not saying they do mate, but mine was starting to leak when it was removed. Just thought for the cost of changing it, why the fcuk not.

Would you recommend doing the dephaser though Fred?
