What else is needed for PH3s - Saxperience

Jorge- · 19th April 2009, 12:30

Okay, can we just get this straight as quite a few people as asking if you need the followers etc. in the group buy.

Reading some threads, some say you do, some say you dont.

Can I just gather a list of EVERYTHING needed to fit PH3s to a VTS and VTR.

Such as,

- Cambelt
- Oil..... etc.

I know fuck all myself, and I am getting people messaging me about it. To save everyone of them posting up asking I just want all the details so I can stick it in the buy.

gouldy87 · 19th April 2009, 12:47

when i did mine-

-newmans ph3 cams
-bottle of oil
-cam belt or pulley kit
-sealant (help seal the cam covers back on)

Jorge- · 19th April 2009, 12:49

Yeah, that is what I thought to be fair.

Cam seals, cambelt, oil, cams.

Then also the filters and plugs as I am going to be giving mine a full service

evans1089 · 19th April 2009, 12:51

don't forget your gaskets too..

gouldy87 · 19th April 2009, 12:52

you cant buy the cam seals separate they are part of the covers. once you take em off you have to buy new covers

Okay, would it be possible to get some part numbers for these so I can see how much I can get them for

AndySAXO^p · 19th April 2009, 12:56

have to go to your local car part wholesalers, i dnt no the prices my old man is gettinthe parts for me trade,

Jorge- · 19th April 2009, 12:57

Alright, just trying to make the group buy as easy as possible...

gouldy87 · 19th April 2009, 12:57

i dony no many people who bother with the followers on PH3s

AndySAXO^p · 19th April 2009, 12:59

well if they are doing it, i would say,

might aswell doing it all at the same time just to make sure, save time and money if the head gasket goes,

but if they are unsure then they are best going to someone who knows what they are doing,

sorry i couldnt be more help

thanks

depends on milages, always go to change them just for peace of mind imo,

Jorge- · 19th April 2009, 13:06

See this is my point.. yes or no to the followers lol

AndySAXO^p · 19th April 2009, 13:10

well depends on milages? are they noise?

but imo i would change them as if they go wrong after you put the cams in you will have to start again and change them so it best to do them when you doing the cams as they can easy be changed when you change the cams.

Jorge- · 19th April 2009, 13:10

Well, my car is at 55k so relatively low compared to some on here.

AndySAXO^p · 19th April 2009, 13:11
