Cam belts & Dirt

Post by NJV6 »

Has anyone tried either successfully or not to seal up the front timing covers?

Having had a blinder of a weekend which included dirty water holes, out of interest I took one of the top timing covers off and was amazed at the amount of dirt in there. Radiator was almost fully blocked with mud

And I can bet this does no favours to cam belt life. At this stage I thinking of taking all the front covers off and trying to seal them up, mcgyvering a seal around the bottom pully and somehow glueing it to the cover.
