Is that the Caprisport kit mate??

That cambelt looks a bit loose to me Colin

[capri_turbo]

cam belt is fine mate. You been talking to Pete since Scotch Corner? lol...

 

It was a tad "slack", I mean, I've seen alot worse, but it was sorted within 10mins of getting home and checked a week later. Strangely enough, it had only done about 1000 miles since new by scotch corner time... sadly, when the engine was rebuilt, they put on a cheaper belt than I had put on originally. It does get checked every 1000 miles or so, but I think I'm going to replace it soon with a higher performance one as this one seems to be stretching too much for my liking. I have got my eye on it for now though...
