Evening,
£300 of not very much !!!
The Hill bearings are cheaper than the Ferrari ones but still £95 plus Vat is excessive for a bearing.
Lambo painting will take a back seat as i have the Ghibli Diff to look at and then this cambelt.
Not sure when i will start this but car hasnt moved in months so i had better look sharp. It will be 5 years since the last one and about 7500 miles, i dont believe the belt will have fallen apart and the bearings were not leaking last time.
My cunning plan was to .....
Find TDC
Check the tension on the belt using the Gates App. If i test it 10 times and get an average reading, i will look to set the belt to that tension once fitted. These cars are now 25 years old and i reckon the app on a brand new phone will be more sophisticated than 25 year old belt tensioner technology.
Lock the cams - bought a couple of twin cam locking tools.
Swap the belts and bearings.
Put it all back together and turn it over couple of times and then pray....
Will post pictures as i go,
