As Simon has said there is no need to remove any belt. If your cap has blown off and you have found it then clean it up as best you can and replace. I used a crowbar and piece of wood but also some locktite. Otherwise Rimmers have new ones.
Unfortunately if you don't clean out the breathers / filters it is likely to happen again and perhaps if the front cap goes it'll contaminate the belt assembly. Regards |

I now get confused, my cap looks like fit from inside of rocker cover and to replace looks like need take off rocker cover wich have two part if I wrhite here then take off cover I have to remove timing belt cover too. Or we think of different parts.

Hello Boriss,
Thanks for the photo and yes, that is the cap covering the end of an exhaust camshaft. It's fitted from the outside of the camshaft carrier (the casting in which the camshafts are mounted, not the same as a rocker cover on a pushrod engine). You don't have to remove any engine parts or the timing belt cover. Having said that, although it looks an easy job, it isn't! The cap must be pressed firmly and evenly into place. It has a ribbed outside surface which aids sealing but makes fitting difficult. There is so little room to position tooling in the right place. Simon

Glad I read this. It looks like what happened to my V6 at the weekend and I didn't fancy paying for a full belt strip.

The old Rover dealer here got so fed up of these cam caps blowing they devised a holding bracket for them, pity they didn't paint them though!

OK, so easier job for take out I never done , next question is on rimmerbros Web site I found 3 different cap genuine land rover , aftermarket one and genuine MG Rover I more for original bits so question is Land rover or MG? Land rover sort of £1.5more but for me more quality. Thanks for replying.

Take out? I thought it flew off due to the pressure.
Think I bought the original ones priced at £4.80, second choice would be the L (Landrover) and then the aftermarket. Just make sure they are truly central before pressing them in. As I mentioned I used Loctite, not just for security but a bit of lubrication while fitting. And then get the filters / breathers seen to. Regards |
