TECH: CAMBELT CONVERSION<br />
15<br />
Remove both pulleys once the fixings are<br />
tightened up. The large cap head screws<br />
require a 1/4-inch AF hex drive or Allen key.<br />
14<br />
With the seals not centralised around the pulleys, tighten the fixings to the outer cam<br />
belt cover.<br />

If you recognise the orange seal - it’s a<br />
primary gear oil seal - so spares are very easy<br />
to find.<br />

The cambelt of choice is a high quality Japanese-made Gates item.<br />
MED recommends service intervals of one season on a race engine,<br />
or a conservative 15,000 miles to be safe on a road car.<br />
Refit the pulleys with the cambelt now in place. Following those<br />
steps ensures it will all line up correctly and seal the casing from<br />
engine oil.<br />

Now refit and tighten the camshaft retaining nut as with the<br />
standard setup.<br />

The outer cover of the billet aluminium timing case is split diagonally<br />
to allow access to the camshaft vernier. This will allow cam timing<br />
adjustments in situ.<br />
