Getting a new engine put in my car the Cambelt on the new engine has only done 10K but I still putting a new one on as it will only cost parts if the engine is out. Peace of mind more than anything

Suppose its a good idea but Mines not even done 1k miles yet, seseems stupid putting fresh on when the ones one are practically new?

Was the dephaser done when the belt was done?

No, seems stupid not changing the belt kit whilst the engine's out, regardless of mileage/age of the current belt.

All of them.

No the dephaser wasn't changed. Right so you think using a cam belt kit with only 600 miles on it is a bad idea?

Yes.

 

[182Mitch]

All of them.

Obviously, but isnt the tools for doing a cam belt change on a f4r engine specific to that engine?

 

[182Mitch]

Yes.

What's the reason behind this? I guess your just meaning for peace of mind?

If the dephaser hasn't been done then get all the belts and dephaser done. Like I said who ever does them will probably only charge for parts as they simple if the engine is out.

I having full belt kit, dephaser, aux kit and whilst it is out put a new clutch on it as like I said it only cost of parts. Get all that done and you will be mechanically sound for 5 years
