[s-cars] Timing Belt R&R

[Fred Munro]

Bob;

I get most of my parts from the dealer, although this time I used an
aftermarket Hepu water pump. AFAIK Continental makes the OEM belts, don't
know about the Febi tensioner. I don't mind spending a bit extra on the
parts for this job to make sure I'm getting good quality parts. Other
listers have bought "kit" parts sets from Blau and other places and have
seemed satisfied.

Anybody that can mangle the cam pulley bolt ought to have their tools
confiscated with extreme prejudice (probably a worn pair of water pump
pliers and a large bent screwdriver. Oh, and a hammer - can't forget the
hammer).

Fred

Fred, Dave, others,
It appears that the last person to do my timing belt did a sloppy job (made
a mess of the head of the cam sprocket bolt for example; what might they
have done to the crank sprocket?) so I'm thinking of redoing it (60,000 km
since last change supposedly).  At any rate, where do you recommend I buy
the parts.  Know anything about Foreign Automotive who advertise on eBay?
Price seems very cheap - is a Continental belt the standard one used, Febi
tensioner any good?
Bob
Forever grateful in Edmonton
