disco_al Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Just a quick one chaps (and chapessessss) i'm changing the head on my Disco shortly (got a newer one off my old disco to go on, plus there is a snapped glow plug in the current one) I also need to do the cambelt, for my own peace of mind as it has an unknown history. If i undo the crank bolt, remove the head etc is it a good idea to do the cambelt whilst it's off? Obvioulsy the engine will be easier to turn over to check after, but also i can make sure that the pistons are at TDC much easier as well.

Nigelw Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Don't see why not? With the head off you could go as far as using a dial gauge on the piston to show TDC and really be spot on with the timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyron Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 makes sence to do it as you are doutfull of the history,bit of sdvice though if you don't mind me saying, i would crack the crankshaft pulley before you remove the head.(as the bolt is VERY tight evry little bit of resistance helps)<br /><br />ron.
