Really really good video! Properly detailed and useful, including the procedures and torques. Don’t normally trust garages but your thoroughness restores my faith! Doing this job on my Vel Satis with a F4RT engine (165hp). Thanks for doing this and great tip on ptfe tape on bolt too!
Hi Mathew. Many thanks for taking the time to make this video, you explain everything in good detail so thanks million for everything truly great work.👍
Excellent video, huge help in getting this job done on my Meg RS250. Thanks for creating and uploading. I also referenced the workshop manual which is fairly easy to find online. It's not an easy job for the home mechanic but it's possible if you take your time and have a second car to drive around. Number one tip is to buy a flex head ratcheting 7 & 8 mm spanner!
apologies, I didn't realise I missed locking the crank, quite important ha - bottom right of the block casting before the sump is a E14 blanking screw, remove that, rotate cylinder 1/4 to TDC, and slide the locking tool in, making sure you cannot rotate the crank in both directions after locking.
@@MattAshmoree I have the bumper off anyway to replace my washer bottle. if it's that similar I'll give it a go once my locking tool turns up.. Thanks for replying
Gday Matt, I realy appreciate the clear video. I have a question though, where do you get the service manual for the RS models with procedures and torques for jobs like these ones? Thanks mate!
Genuine tool, BUT nothing wrong with aftermarket tools if you use them correctly. The cam bridge are weaker/thinner yes, but you shouldnt ever be putting rotational torque through it as long as your are using the tool that lock's the pulleys when you torque the pulley nuts up.
Hi Matthew. I’ve just had the cambelt replaced on mine. (Garage) I now have *Rev hang *exhaust pop and crackle when take foot off gas *and what I believe is over fuelling. Is the timing off slightly? I’ve already taken it back to be adjusted again as it was misfiring.
@@MattAshmoree thanks. Would I be better of going somewhere else to get it done? He’s tried twice and no good. How long would it take for someone to do?
@@aldoussl8098 what tools is he using? Has he done an F4R before? Because its easy to see if it's in time or not, but the fact he's tried twice, it may be down to something else? A lot of variables to consider really mate.
@@MattAshmoree what did you use to lock the crank to undo / tighten pulley as the crank locking tool I believe is only to hold crank in place for timing purposes only With a gun runner it can be undone , but torquing with a torque wrench requires it to be locked Thanks
