Oil leaking from pulley side

[Rob Furniss]

I've had an oil leak for ages (years) but now need to fix it.
I'm not entirely sure where it is though but the alternator gets caked and exhaust too, I think i've seen oil near / below the cam gears last time I had the covers off.
So with that in mind i've bought a cambelt kit (232 teeth) with tensioners and cam seals, and half moons and a waterpump for good measure - it's been about 5 years since I last did the cambelt on this FTO.

I'm hoping to do this over the holiday period, I'll grab some RTV before I start too, thinking of removing the cams and doing those cap seals, and half moons, and rtv on the cam carrier of course.
So question is have I got everything covered there to sort it and can this be done in a day? (need the car back on the road the following day)
Anything else it could be that i've overlooked?

I don't lose enough oil to require frequent top up, but it's enough to mess the drive and cause a burning smell from the dripping on the exhaust.

Thanks

Yeah cam seals (what it sounds like) can be done in a day, they’re a pain in the ass to get out though, don’t scratch the housing for them.

And if you remove the cams be aware that some of the plastic collects on the tappets might be needing to be replaced as they always break off

Thanks Sahin, i'll see if I can pick up a couple of tappet screws beforehand if I can source them in time.

I don't even attempt to pull the rear cam seals out. Often time they're crispy and stubborn. So I just pull the end cam cap off and slide it out.

I have a full set of brand new tappet collets and shims if you need them.

[Rob Furniss]

Thanks Rob, that would be a full set that you don't want to split up I presume?

Seems they are like rocking horse sh*t, none in the country.

They aren't that expensive, PM me.

Hey guys does anyone happen to know how long the cam carrier outer bolts are messed up the order and now realised there are 3 different lengths 2 xm8x1.25x80mm 2 m8x1.25x70mm and 6x m8x1.25x65mm. I know the 80mm are for the high caps but stuck with the rest. If anyone can help it's much appreciated thanks in advanced.
