Re: cambelt failure...

I ask as the round tooth cambelt is "supposed" to go more miles between changes and generally be "more reliable".
That's the plan for now. Only without the stoppers. That was for the setup with the new type tensioner and old type belt. The new belt doesn't stretch that much so the tensioner spring won't break. Look at the identical 155 setup .75evo wrote:Why don't you do as Barry said with the 2 bolt stoppers, 155 V6 cam pullies and new style belts? That would be better all around. But the 155 V6 pullies may be off a bit in terms of alignment with the crank pulley because the 155 V6 has physically shorter cams.
Also the new style belt has a 1.5 times more tensile strenght. That explains the longer life span.
