Have you taken the cam covers off and matched it up?

look at the belt there...

:lol: ......what a fool i am, i was looking at the wrong belt. thanks graham

Bob

Hmmmmm.....

Should you be changing the belt if you don't know what it looks like or where it goes?

:nono:

Agreed. You know what they say - having no knowledge is ok...but a little knowledge can be dangerous :nono:

Seriously mate, at least get someone who knows what they are looking at and has previously changed a cambelt to help. I don't want to give you APi's phone number to sort out the bent valves ;)

Nope im not changing it, a very good friend is....fast and reliable!

Bob :)

u gota strat some where and that usaly starts fome knowing nouthing. But good ur m8s doin it, watch him closely then do it urself w his suppervison in 60k time :) (i dono if it 60k on these cars?)

be very careful clamping

Hes been a mechanic for years....so if hes not done a subaru before is there anything he should know or will it be no problem for him....i dont want him breaking something and saying this needS replacing its knackered.

PS: PEANUTS...CLAMPING ?

Thanks all

Bob

I think he means be careful if you clamp the camshaft pulleys together. As they are not metal, they are plastic and can be broken. ;)

Plastic...:(

You, or rather Subaru, gotta save a yen or two.

:)

Why the sad smiley? I'd say --> :D
I guess a part of the reason why plastic was chosen, is that plastic is a lightweight material, lowering the total weight of the valvetrain?

yes that is true, but when you fit the belt you need a third and fourth hand if you havent got a mate with you.
In which case you need to clamp them together.
