Well, good news and bad news.
The good news is that i now knows which belt tensioner that had a strange noise, the bad news is that the alternator belt snapped, got lodged onto the timing belt causing it to slip a tooth or four = valve says hello to the piston..
Was on my way to a friends house to change rear diff oil, gear oil, IRD Oil and engine oil.. The old girl must have sensed that she was going to get pampered and decided to break down 200M from my friends garage..
Still changed IRD/Geat/Diff oil, now ordering spares.. She also got new exhaust mounts and fixed all the rattling heat shields, two of them.
Need both the tensioners. Found one
here.
Although the head gasket have been changed not that long ago, I'm changing everything just for peace of mind, inc. new waterpump, dowels etc.
Found this kit on
ebay.
Just need to find the dowels and the other tensioner.
My old man have a R400 somewhere wich the engine is OK, I'll be using the head of that one. Come to think of it, is that even possible? I think it has a cap and rotor, and the Expensivelander have coil packs, are the heads interchangeable?
