    Default Cam belt change urgent question

    Hi, I'm changing the cam belt and water pump right now following the excellent how to wtitten by Nev -thanks - and have a question: wich way should I turn the crank shaft to align the notch on the wheel with the noch on the semi cover? clockwise or anticlockwise?


    thanks

    thanks Dose, I ran into a problem. Can't get off the engine mount that's bolted to the engine. It's got 3 bolts that I removed but It won't budge. Any ideas?

    found the fourth bolt got it out but still the engine mount stays on the engine, but it has a little play now, anyone know if there's a fifth bolt holding it to the engine?

    it's dark outside now and started to rain, think I'll leave it for the morning...

    thanks plasma, got that one too, but now I 'm having trouble removing the torsional vibration damper I think it's called, it's the big wheel with 4 torx bolts that drives the aux belt and it's on the crank shaft. I unscrewed the 4 bolts but it won't budge... any tips on that would be great. I really appreciate the help guys.

    if you've got the 4 bolts out this i think its just friction holding it on
