Happy Nu year 2 all
Well just spent several days after making crank holder Mk1 that works just great Belt tensioner moving device that will need a little braceing as it started bending when i was instaling accesorie belt that was 30mm to short for my model with Denso air & big compressor for Ambo use so measure your belt before you start to avoid that problem
Did timing belts idelers injector pump belt new waterpump , oil changed engine & changed tranny oil to castrol ATFsynthetic Z $73.90 for 4 ltrs as I had lockup clutch shudder hapening with Valvoline after 20k Klm
Prick of a job to do & you need to buy the DVD workshop manuals & mark every thing after setting the crankshaft on true TDC before you start with a white paint pen .
Lost lots a skin can now swear in GERMAN no worries also working my way through OBD11 opperations on my laptop thats another story .
Cost me about $ 1100.00 so far with the parts consumables & software .
Would I do it again after what I know now not bloody likely Injectot pump timing is a trick as there are 2 tensioner pulleys that play a big part in geting theh timing spot on & are a pain to do with all the plumbing on our A/C equiped Ex Ambo T4s not to mention ABS junk I did mine leaving the bull bar on so you can tie the radiator junk to it proped up on blocks of wood so you can see & have axces to the injector pump belt tensioner & see the timing marks ..
I chose to do all this early at 70 k as ambo work is hard work being flogged from cold & flat out most times as mine was a first responce Parra resus unit from a country station in NSW & I got its history from a nice man in the buisness of saving lives .
Had 36K Klm on the clock after 3 year lease ran out & replaced with ambos with bonnets Mercs Ect as they still miss the long nosed F100 ford tanks for country work keep the drivers safe in a head on .
Sticker on the bull bar says it all that it is NOT part of the impact crumple zone & may not absorb energy as the original bumper & air bag systen is made for .
So Save your money & get someone else to do the job when the time comes finding that someone maybee the problem only you can solve .
Didnt take any pictures thay are burned into my brain will take lots of beer to deleat .
