Cam gears eating it away??

With that much damage it was probably robbing you of power!

[egSi]

cam gears r actually innocent man but yeah, no wonder is was using tonnes of fuel and slow :p

[JasonGilholme]

So what was causin it?? Part of the timing belt cover or somethin?

Hope ya get it fixed by sunday

[JasonGilholme]

Righto. Give us a yell if you need a second set of hands mate.

[Chris_F]

it's just ridiculous that that happened... was in total disbelief when you first told me about it and now seeing the pictures... I'm still confused as hell. Any ideas what's causing it?

obviously rubbing against something ?

[Chris_F]

Yep, definitely... I'm just not sure what it'd be rubbing against? any ideas

[JasonGilholme]

It can only be comin from inside the timing belt cover yeah?? Maybe someone left a socket in there by mistake and its rubbin on it??

It'll be interesting to find out thats for sure.

[Chris_F]

yea thats a possibility... hopefulyl it's something simple like that anyway

[bennjamin]

i think the problem resides in the use of a towel as a cam cover :)

[egSi]

lol scorpio :eek:

note: do not store sockets in timing belt cover :p

[JasonGilholme]

BINGO!!!

Do i win a prize??? :P

[Slow96GSR]

I'll ship you a doughnut or a cookie!!

[JasonGilholme]

thanks man :o

[SPEEDCORE]

note: do not store sockets in timing belt cover :p

That would be right.... Trav = Dodgy Brothers Inc. :)

[ECU-MAN]

lol

its funny if the engine doesnt go BANG.

good find. didnt you start to miss your 10mm socket :)

[JasonGilholme]

lol. Yeah, i lost my 10 mm spanner once. I was lost without it. HAHA

[Weq]

ur one lucky mofo. that lower timing belt cover is ideal for storing all sorts of goodies.... not ;)

[Eclipsor]

Hey trav, you seen my portable soldering iron? Last place I remember having it was soldering some wires near your timing belt??? These new fangled infrared things are hard to keep track of. :P

ps. seriously though. I swear you are due for some good luck for a change. Maybe a stroker kit will magically appear in your garage tonight....made of gold...delivered by naked women.

[ECU-MAN]

lol

he is very lucky.

[egSi]

naked women with a stroker kit!?! damn im down.

yeah im lucky it didnt go bang considering the stupid motor is now worth more than my car :eek:

if anyone has some spare good luck plz send it or email it to me :p

[CRXer]

HOLY ****!

What u want luck for? U just got a whole heap of it

Says something bout the strength of the belt though.

[kyle]

man im alwayys leaving tools in my engine bay, it hell bad cause the bonnet can actually close with em there. then like 2 days later you open up and your ratched at philiips head screw driver and phone are sitting in there. hahahahaha. SIIIK

[EuroDude]

bwaha thats hectic! lucky it was a genuine honda belt :p or was it? :o

[destrukshn]

gates it looks like.
=p

[egSi]

it ws gates, nothing wrong with it, didnt get it off as i expected tonight.
ill do it 2moro and post some more pics.

:thumbsup:

[panda[cRx]]

lmfao.... lucky u found it when u did trav ya goose

[STTICH]

damn tats nasty :S

glad there wasnt any major mishap :)

[Chris_F]

so still no ideas on what actually caused the strange wear? (Assuming it wasnt a socket haha)

[SKREMN]

i think it was the socket....

[zco]

now that i've seen that, maybe cutting the cav covers to see your cam gears is not such a bad idea. haha

daNG MAN. thats some gangsta SHiznitttt

[EG5[KRT]]

hm.. thats the thing with being a mechanic u gotta check everything twice lol

[bungsai]

HOLY ****!

What u want luck for? U just got a whole heap of it

thats the truf nikka.

[egSi]

lol guys, a random cover bolt seems to have come loose and caused all the problems. thing is, i have no empty spot for one? wtf did some one sabotage my shit? :p

[Eclipsor]

I swear it wasn't me... Engines is one of the things I don't kill. I blame Dave.

[egSi]

you usually find a problem like that when your beating a WRX in a race, pulling 8000 RPM, 3 hours from home when it decides to let go

U reckon?

I broke one less than 5 mins away from the Honda dealer I was taking it to at the time, to get a leaking water pump changed & was gonna get the belt changed cos it had to come off anyway.....

Beat that one
