Hi all,
I have the Midgets engine out and the tranny swapped over.
While the engine was out I figured I'd switch the cam belt. The
system is a TRIGER put on by the PO. If I just copy the numbers off
the belt will any auto parts store be able to get me a belt that
matches? It says TIGER on it as well as PIRELLI. Anyone have any
idea how ot replace it? just unbolt a pulley and slide it off, or
just slide the belt off without unbolting? There is no tensioner
and I have no idea how tight the belt is!!
The front seal has a minor weep. is it fatal to get any oil on a
toothed cam belt??
What else would you replace or look at while the engine is out?
Clutch and throw out looked good. Front tranny seal feels tight.
I may do the rear tranny seal.
Ujoints are smoth and not to firm.
