this is probably a v silly question but anyway -

- when changing the belts on a 600ss carbed version do you have to line up the timing mark on the flywheel as well as lining up the three cambelt pulleys
- is this seen through the left hand window?
- what does the mark look like and is there more than one on the flywheel

I am asking teh above because there appear to be loads of marks on my flywheel and none of them seem to be lined up when the pulleys are

[loverobot]

i think i have resolved that so long as the pulleys are all in line then no problem ie the flywheel doesnt matter
is there any way of securing the pulleys so they dont rotate or is this overkill?

next question - the tension bolts seem very shallow - is there a knack to avoid rounding the buggers off?

[Scooter916]

Dont need to lock the Pulleys they are peasy to rotate back to where they should be as your re assembling.
Yea the bolts are shallow so use a good quality set of allen Keys, Not the sunday market type.
And finally , yup no need to worry where the flywheel marks are.

thanks for that
they look a bit shagged already atch so will order a new set and replace them

[Iconic944ss]

I bought a low range torque wrench just so I could do the service involving the belt change as i was told the bolts are quite fragile.

Good luck - Frank

notwithstanding the lack of need re the timing mark - does anyone have aphoto of the tdc mark on their flywheel?
it is bugging me!
