I used to be a technician at a local garage, never lost my skills with the old spanners.....
Did a big job today, cambelt replacement on a V6 MG ZT...
Thought you guys might find the pics interesting.
Replaced ZT160 KV6 cambelts today at home, on the floor with no ramp.
Not too bad a job...
Water Pump and tensioner plus guide roller replaced. New antifreeze plus all filters & plugs replaced.
Camshafts with locking/timing tools in place....
Under-wing shot of crankshaft cam sprocket and timing marks....
Water pump and cambelt run.....
Cambelt hydraulic tensioner retracted and locked in off postion with special tool.
Rear belt with timing tool in use.
New main belt in place with new water pump installed.
Rear belt guide pins in place, aids pulley fitment no end.
Rear sprockets with timing tool and spreader/belt tensioner installed ready for fitment.
Pile of old parts, including a worn seat base cover which we replaced.
Road tested and all washed! Not bad for 6hrs work.
Time for a beer now :beer2:
