Hey Guys,I was wondering if you guys were changing your cambelt when you fitted a new cam. I'm changing to PH1 cams shortly... My cambeltkit is only 3500 miles old (changed it this summer) and it seems a waste to fit a new one now... So what's best? Regards, Paul |

Thanks guys, think I'll just use the old one since it's still quite new. |

not a great idea to retension a belt,just get a belt and not a full kit as ratty says.________________________________________ clio r27ps3 id:cooperkloe |

No harm in it really. Most dealerships & garages won't replace the belt when doing engine work under warranty.It never does the aux belt any harm and that's nowhere near as strong as the cambelt. ________________________________________ Rich |

Exactly Rich, but with the many snappers on here I thought I'd ask... Better safe than sorry  Before this I had a Mi16 and I also re-used the cambelt when I installed a replacement head. Drove another 18K with it untill I sold it. |
