Hi guys,

Just wondered if a cambelt snaps on a 413 engine will be likely or less likely to cause permanent damage......? Bent valves etc?

if it snaps it snaps it wont damage the motor as its a non-interference engine so the pistons wont smash the valves its just a case of lining the camshaft up and the crankshaft up and pull back tensioner and fit the new belt

Ah that's good to hear, is changing the belt a simple job on one of these?

yeah its really easy aslong as all the bolts come out and you have a good selection of tools you will be fine.
i cant really find a how to guide atm
ive stolen this picture from autodata just to show how simple it is

id say you could do one in aout 30-45mins if your quick on the spanners

Oh yeah, easily. I managed it in about an hour just going in blind.

It says in the workshop manual to slacken all the valves off to allow the camshaft to rotate freely and therefore allow the cambelt tensioner to work correctly. Sounds a lot of fluffing about, do people bother with that???

Cambelt. No more than 45minutes ish. Old one off, don't fck with anything. New one on and away we go.

I might even put new tensioner on when i do the 1600. With my new RW manifold, and rocklobster. And shiny alloys. Also those nice rust free doors and bonnet. Did i also mention i have chrome wing mirrors in the post.
