TAKE IT TO A GARAGE

sure the belt kit is correct and has the right number of teeth.

James Ive lost your number so if you could ring or text me please

Thanks for the tips I'm al most there the crank pulley is franctionally out but in turns over buy hand ok

ring me to come do it ;)

the slack in between the pulleys need to be taken up before tightening the tensioner so have someone applying pressure on the inlet pulley (anti-clockwise) to take up the slack and then you tighten the tensioner.

yeh... it may not look right when you do it... but when you rotate the engine a few times the marks should line up spot on... if they dont theres a problem...

if you look at the exahaut cam its probably slightly down... it 'falls' into that postion anyways...

So have the timing mark slightly up on the inlet cam

leave the tensioner off completely untill you have it around all the other pulleys...

the inlet pulley will need to be wound back slightly to get the teeth on it to go into the belt..

make sure the pullies are lined up correctly to there mark there may be a slight bit of slack 1-3mm till you relese the tensioner

Anyone have any tips for doing the cambelt on the X16XE. Im doing it as the haynes says round the crank pulley tensioner water pump then up the other side round the cam pulleys just the trouble is I'm getting too much slack imbetween the two cam pulleys
