Pulleys torqued but not angle tightened (old bolts), new positions marked, cam belt remarked and waiting to dry.

Baseplate torqued

Just going to tape some more charity bags together for rain protection

Locating pin on cam 3 has snapped

Why......they dont snap for no reason so whats the cause?

Were the cam bearings all fitted correctly?

No oil ways blocked are T vents missing?

[Martin_1962]

Not snapped - fell out

Refitted OK

Cam belt refitted

Cam belt cover done

I wouldn't leave them at just 50nm. That's not enough. If concerned about re-use perhaps omit the final stage of angle tightening but the 50nm will just be to ensure they are making contact.

DOne a bit more

[Martin_1962]

I drained about 2 litres of rain water out and a litre of oil after it.

On a test drive ran oin 6 but kept conking, EML light, emmisions light and TC light. Had to leep resetting the engine to pull away.

First stop found a vac hose had come off while refitting, then when I got home, wet DBW connector and slightly loose plenum.

Anyway some switch cleaner and a quick nip wnet for a test drive.

Ran fine, but a nob in a common rail TD Mondea pulled out on a RB then started to hammer it (new and very smokey). I had to back off as traffic coming the other way meant I couldn't overtake!

Remind me to bring the Opelscanner the next time I see you and we can reset all the stored codes.

Think of the fuel that you'll save with only 50% of the engine firing

It was no better than on 6

You should still angle tighten the cam bolts as per new ones.
