Cambelt due on BH5 Legacy

[TNHSTI]

So looking at buying another BH5 Legacy cos i miss my old one haha only thing is it needs a cambelt it was last done at 93,000kms and has now just done 212,000kms would it still be okay to drive it home to Nelson from Queenstown? obviously will get it done once I get it home

Listen for any nasty rattles or noise coming from cam covers and remove passenger side cover and check cam belt for wear and cracks.Purchased my bl in Nelson and drove back to Auckland with barely legal S*** tyres.Wellington to Auckland was in pouring rain and darkness.Bent a rim driving through Hamilton.

Nice - which passenger side cover are you talking about? I wont have tools with me in queenstown to check first

Front side cam cover below oil dip stick.4 x 10mm bolts.I have a mini Teng tools socket set 5.5 to 13mm sockets,various screw heads,extension and ratchet.All packaged in the size of a cigarette pack.Cost around $65.

Put the chassis into partsouq and it'll bring up the parts specific for the car

Yeah can do that but not sure exactly what I need...

[Zeus]

Cambelt, tensioner, idlers and waterpump. Up to you if you do the cam and crank seals, rule of thumb is if they aren't leaking leave them.

 

Tbh you might find winger has sharper pricing then partsouq (take freight into account with your pricing)

[tigerstyle]

Winger pricing is good on cambelt kits, bought one recently, can't remember the exact price though sorry! $580 maybe? All tensioners and idlers. 

[Jimbob]

yeah genuine cambelt kits are priced sharply for trade price and through winger. same as the water pump kits too
