Have you got the workshop manuals? These come in very handy with this type of thing.. The problem with leaving it to the mechanics is that they can take a while to do so can be pretty costly. I spose the worse case scenario would be to have the cam timing wrong so that the valves come down when the pistons come up.. this is called crowning I think. But the workshop manual shows you where all the markings and stuff are so if you follow that you *should* be ok..

thanks mate,yeh i downloaded it of the net just then so it should all good i think ill have a go anyway?cheers by the way i got a gates belt anyone had any experinces with these belts

While changing the belt make sure u replace the studs, it's cheap insurance for less than $10. :rolleyes:

studs?ive never taken it off b4 so could u sheed some more light mate?can u buy then from any where or are they a special order and so forth

Idler/tensioner bearings should also be changed.

Along with engine seals.

Also a good time to get the radiator flushed/repaired/upgraded.

ok so i should change the cam wheel bearings and studs why im there?i think the cam wheels be fine tho as my car is only standard etc...also ive heard they are noisy,but what sort of noise is it?????good or bad?cheers

My mechanic recommended changing the water pump while in there because they have a habit of wearing away of the pump fins.

thanks for all the help fellas just wondering if i can get a few part numbers?

1.engine bearings

2.and where would i get the cam studs from are they of the shelf item,as in from any bolt shop?

3.idler tensioner bearing

4.also does everyone think i should change the water pump aswell?

cheers kane

Check the Stagea section:  SK posted a guide for RB25s and I doubt the RB20s would be much different.

Also, "Forced Induction" is the wrong forum to post in.  Try Maintenance.

yeh sorry to get up ur nose mate my bad wont happen again k but thanks anyways

You didn't get up my nose :P You're just more likely to get helpful responses in maintenance for this sort of question IMHO.

Here is the tutorial SK posted:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
