selectcase Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I am about to reassemble the cambelt, pullys etc. The crank *& keyways are in good condition and i was wandering what you guys do about assembling the crank pully & damper together. Do you use anti sieze assembly so they are not such a bugger to get off the next time or loctite to stop them coming loose? I know you use loctite on the crank bolt threads. cheers will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickm Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 sorry but can i add a question what sort of ummmppphh do i need to do the tensioner upto my 200's also in lots of bits awaiting re-assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muck Truck Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 sorry but can i add a question what sort of ummmppphh do i need to do the tensioner upto a lot cant remember off the top of my head but its up somewhere like 280 Nm (for a 200 tdi) when i did mine i was slipping the clutch so couldnt get it any tighter, but today ive just got one of these from ebay crank locking tool so i can now re-tighten my crank (200 tdi) and do the Disco 300 Tdi cambelt we've got. edit. i am on about the damper bolt, not the belt tensioner, quoted wrong post here.

Lars L Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Tension on the square hole for the cambelt tensioner should be 18-20 Nm. At least on a Disco engine, I might add... Done that today, see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripy Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 yes put loctite on the pully & the shaft & keyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Pulley/damper bolts are 4 x M8 coarse bolts, use a small amount of any thread locking compound as these bolts don't usually work loose. Timing belt tensioner I set at 20nm. Setting the tensioner 'until the clutch slips' will see the belt snapped/timing case wrecked/or similar, (bit of confusion going on here I think ) Les.

He was referring to the large bolt holding the dampener onto the crankshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 assembling the crank pully & damper together That statement wasn't describing the crank bolt to me, hence my reply. Tensioner remark was tongue in cheek, hence the presence of the smiley Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selectcase Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Sorry - I may have caused some confusion here, what i am talking about are the crankshaft cog for driving the cambelt and the pully damper - they both slide on the crank shaft and locate via the 2 woodruf keys. As they are frequently siezed on the crank when attempting to change a cambelt requiring a puller to get them off the shaft I was thinking of using a little antisieze compound but they appear to have been assembled on the shaft with loctite. I am using new woodruf keys, new crank cog etc so everything is squeaky clean - hope that clarifies it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Genuine manual says fit the crank pulley [no mention of any substances between it & crankshaft] & fit damper using loctite 242 on the crank bolt threads only before torquing the bolt up. I've never used anything on the crank for these 2 parts not had any problem removing them at timing belt change time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just lightly lubricate the nose of the crank with engine oil or light grease, then assemble as per Ralphs reply. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
