Cambelt Help


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all,

 

I would like to replace the cambelt on my 1.6 pinto but when I went to pick one up from A-Z parts store they said I'd need to count the teeth on the belt.

 

Any help as to which belt I need would be appreciated.

Is there anyway to know which you need without taking belt off and counting?

Will get engine number and see if they can find it from that.

 

But may just buy both as suggested and take one back.

If you don't want to count the number of teeth on your existing belt you could always run a piece of string round It to give an idea of the length of the replacement

Don't know if any of you saw Car SOS the other day, but Fuzz cuts the timing belt in half along its length, so leaving the other half in place to keep all the timing correct. Then slips the new belt on and then cuts the remaining half off. If you are sure you are going to replace the belt then the first half can be used to count the number of teeth.
