Snub Mount and Phoelinetic spacers fitting ?

Post by s2rsman » Sat May 16, 2009 6:48 pm

Hey guys what's involved in fitting the above ?

i.e. How easy and what has to come off to achieve.

I'm about to get the cambelt done so wondered if this was the time to do a snub mount.

Also was going to order phoelinetics at the same time
but didn't want a huge labour bill to fit ?

Thanks.

yes on the snub and pretty sure the intake spacer is straight forward

Wouldn't bother with the phenolic spacers whilst the cambelt is being done as they can be fitted with the front end on the car.

re: the cambelt, are you aware of all the other bits you should get done at the same time, ie: thermostat, water pump, etc.

Yep cambelt kit, rollers,tensioners, water pump,gasket, thermostat.

On the spacers I'll wait till I've recovered from the cambelt,
can it be a diy job ?

Had a look round today while doing the spark plugs, seen the bolts for the inlets.

It is simply a case of removing the top end stuff and installing them ?
any sealant required ?
