moose Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 the whole cam belt change went fine no problems but this is what i found when the damper had been removed (note the hammer marks) no chance of putting a new sealing that... there was tons of mud etc in the case but the belt was still ok, The truck had a full service history so i know the cam belt was last replace by a garage..... I cleaned it all up and back together now and running sweet (the timming was out too). so does any body have a disco 200tdi timing case cover for sale? sorry dont have enought posts to post in the classifieds section yet ...

Andy Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 fit the seal & cover it with silicon? works quite well on my warped timing cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_a Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 chemical metal and fine sanding? or silicon as suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I would bodge it up somehow. That is only a dust/mud seal anyway and even a good one won't keep all the water out. The important seal is the one that keeps the oil in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important seal is the one that keeps the oil in yes think this is the route iam going cos at 200 quid +VAT for a new one It was full of mud so i guess will need to bodge up some thing or clean it out once a year .............or stay out of the Mud (yer right) thanks all for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 i fit the entire cover with silicon as i cant get my warped plate to seal with normal gaskets. dont want mud in there really, as when the bearings in the pulleys go rusty & seize things go 'spink' & the engine goes 'bang clunk' - dont ask me how i know.

Andy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 how did i guess someone would say that? well my pullies seized so the belt went 'twang' then the engine went 'clunk'. £300 of bits later i had it running agian. last time the belt snapped (cant find why it went again, i'd used good selotape to hold the ends together) it only cost £100.

Les Henson Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 That's all very well, but it doesn't explain the 'spink' does it. Personally, I don't think anything on a Land Rover makes that noise - more of a citroen saxo-type noise to me. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 'spink' as defined in a convo at the services on the M27 once. mate was trying to change the thermostat on his 110, i watched him try to loosen the bolts & said 'this is about when they go spink isnt it?', bolt went spink, he cursed. the word stuck.
