The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Just like to put a big thanks out there to my fellow ausubaru Perth members who came and helped me yesterday diagnose the problems with my ej22. after a few hours with Dave and Dave :P we figured out that the timing cover that was cracked had sustained a harder knock than 1st thought.. We found that both cam wheels had skipped a few teeth, we then discovered that the Gregory’s and Haynes books are useless in regards from setting up timing belts from scratch! :/ big thank you to Hatchie Dave for the new belt! Much appreciated. We spent ages struggling with the alignment and eventually gave up.. (so I thought) Andrew decided that he would solve this asap and before I knew it Andrew and Justin ( OS ) rocked up and the car was running smooth in no time!! After a quick lesson on the how-to put a belt in from scratch and what lines / notches to go by! And techniques to install the belt tensioner..

I just thought id put up this post to say thanks for all the support from fellow board members who donate time and effort in any situation to help out fellow members without this kindness and thought I think a lot of people would struggle to find correct and useful information on many things and end up out of pocket or out of there minds! :P

Thanks
Brendan

about time:D

i'd like to ditto this statement, and thank everyone for their help with my conversion, and all the other stuff everyone has done for me. One day i will hopefully re-pay the favours(meant in a non-sexual way)

alex

You guys both have a running tab... lol

Seriously though, help is there for anyone who would want to one day return the favour... was my absolute pleasure to help. And them sandwiches you made us Brendan were payment enough.

Dave

alex

Well I'm not giving you any sandwiches Alex. Maybe the Daves will, but I'm not cool with that at all.
