Did you torque the pullies up after fitting the aux belt?  Mentioned but not seen on the DVD.

After doing the cambelt the cam followers can be a bit tappety for a few minutes. The oil gets pumped out of them when you manually turn the engine over.

If in doubt, strip down again, and just recheck timing :)

Hi,
I think everyone is on tenterhooks when they start up after doing this job, and any little thing is a worry.

If the noise dissapeared as you said, I am pretty sure it just needed a while to get oil back into adjusters.

Although it's a pain, as it is first one you have done you need the peace of mind it's a good job.
If you can't get rid of that niggling doubt, then check it again. Then you'll be happy.
