Cambelt change on the 172

[Cookson]

Just a few snaps I took whilst having the belts done on the Ph1

Seeing that on taking off the cover did NOT instill confidence in the previous belt change.

However, on getting the cap covers off...

awesome, It was timed up correctly, despite the receipt not being from a "specialist". So we cracked on.

New aux belt kit (despite the old one only being 3k and less than 12months old. I didnt wanna take the risk). New genuine cambelt and depahser pully


Span over by hand a few times, timing still lined up. All put back together and a full oil cjhange done. Taken for a test. s**t hot, not a bad thing to report.

In fact, we even got the vice on my top engine mount to close it up a little to eliminate the slight knocking I was getting previously

All in all, a good few hours work

I was considering replacing with some exotic private plate..... but it's money down the drain.
