Hello
I have the 1999/2000 KZJ95 Turbo diesel 3.0L.
Its done almost 600000k so its time i did the cambelt and affiliated items.
Ive done the timing valves on my Ferguson tractor, it has push rods but ive never done a cambelt before.
Ive done some work on this car before including all the filters, replacing the transfer case seals, cv joint replacement, and also i removed and fixed up the front diff after the pinon nut came loose and she blew out the bearings in there. All those fixs have being successful so im arrogant enough to attempt this job and i read its not the hardest cambelt to change.
I do have some questions id appreciate being answered.
I often buy boat motors with blown rings and i do them up for my own use. Il replace the damaged piston and ring but i wont re-ring the whole motor, this is my state of repairs i dont do the optimal best just enough to satisfactorily keep it going, so im wondering what i actually need to do on this motor to keep up to a reasonable level of maintenance without spending the rainy day reserves.
None of the kits offer any discount here in NZ, they are just all inclusive in one piece of plastic wrapping, so not something to jump for automatically.
So do i need to buy the tensioner and the idle pulley or in peoples experience do these pieces of equipment generally last well?
Also one chap has told me to do the waterpump too because when you put in a new belt it will put new pressure on the waterpump and that will then start to fail. Does anyone have any experience with that?
Thanks in advance
