Indeed. I've left a bit of blood on the trail in the past.
Things started to cool over there yet? It's been fall since June over here temp wise. Of course the southern softies have had it ok as usual.

Today's forecast high is 86 degrees F. It's getting into the low 40's at night.Things started to cool over there yet? It's been fall since June over here temp wise. Of course the southern softies have had it ok as usual.
I replaced the timing belt myself (may have been the cause to begin with) bur as I mentioned above it was running smoothly and then all of a sudden the strange noise and the engine stalls... it was a new belt with tensioner. The only thing I can think of (without having taken the cover off) is that I didn't tighten the tensioner enough and it worked it's way loose as we did about 200 km of rainy season dirt roads which are quite rough.
Never the less we are stuck here for the voseeable future in a village with no campground...

Is that a yoofamissum?Nah thanks. I'll take fall in the Rockies. The Colorado Rockies.
Been a lovely summer - you just live in a ****-hole . You are just used to the smog and coal dust in the airDon't think we have had anything like that all summer, just a few odd warm days. It's been pretty bloody bad but the reservoirs are full for sure.
Hi julian, have the right configuration ridge on the crankshaft pull and smooth on the idler.What configuration of sprockets / pulleys did you have?
Could you have made the mistake of replacing the idler with the current version, without replacing the crank sprocket with similar?
(originally the idler had a ridge, and the crank sprocket did not - current config is that the idler is bare, and the crank sprocket has the rim)
A setup without a rim on one of them will cause the belt to wander / ware / catch, but probably not that swiftly.
If your GOOD with a hammer & a center punch you should be able to get the broken stud out ! It will only need a bit of a turn then it should screw out ! I know wot your thinking ! that it will be tight ! but it wont be trust meLook for a replacement motor?
OK will give it a tryI know wot your thinking ! that it will be tight ! but it wont be trust me
If it dunt work ring work & tell them you've been kidnapped
Good question! the pin is ok the whole is a bit stretched, though i imagine it has to do with the timing, as far as I know its there to ensure the pully can only be put on one way. But I am sure others know better than I do.Newpin for guide hole or is that to do with timing ?
If you gotta have new bits sent to you, don't risk straightened pushrods.Believe the pushrods are quite soft you might be able to straighten them enough to get you out of there.
Can you get the belt and cam parts delivered to where you are?
there is no work to ring anymore.
I should be able to get parts, there is a landy mechanic 2 hrs from here who also sells parts so perhaps they have some things in stock already and we don't have to wait a couple of weeks before we see if the valves are screwed.Personally, depending on how ****ed you are, id drill out the bolt, and just reassemble the lot, and hope for the best.
Id imagine that, if you can get the belt, you can get the pushrods, but, as above, ive heard of them being hammered straight in an emergency.
With regard to the enlarged hole - ive not messed with the cam seal on any of ours, so ive not taken the sprocket off myself, but, once youre somewhere more suitable, could it be drilled and then fitted with an oversized pin? (again, ive never looked at the part, so this may not be applicable at all)
If you have taken the rocker assembly out, does evreything turn freely now? My concern is the possibility that somthing locked, causing the cam sprocket to snap off, rather than the other way arround.
