K74 Timing belt

#1 by BigWeeez , Wed Apr 26, 2023 9:38 am

Hello everyone! Hope you're doing well.
Long story short, I have oil making it's way into the timing cover onto the belts.
So this weekend is the start of taking it to bits for a clean up.
I have new timing and balance belts, aux belts, water pump and thermostat with seals, and also crank, balance and cam shaft seals.
I am also replacing the rocker cover gasket as it had started seeping at the back near the half moon.

Any heads up on anything I should be looking out for/problems to expect would be much appreciated.
Also, the intermittent function doesn't work on the wipers. Is there a relay hiding somewhere for me to have a poke at?

It's a 2006 L200 Animal K74.

Thanks guys! 😊

Can't help re wipers but done the timing belt and rocker cover. Have you worked out where the oils coming from? sounds like your got all the seals covered. I had trouble sealing the rocker cover until i got oem gasket( its more pliable) and sealed as per manual . The sealant i used was one recommended on the forum here.( a short name!) Worked first time. don't over torque the camshaft rocker bolts. check spec in manual. Keep us posted Nic
