SPG Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys, any suggestions as to which parts I should look to replace whilst my engine is out of the bay and the gearbox is detached. I am currently buying the following. - Crank Pulley - New Pre-facelift Mounts (VVTI Engine) - Oil Pump - Water Pump - Cam Cover Gaskets - Cam Cover Breather Pipes - Front and Rear Crank Seals - Pilot Bearing - Core Plugs - Coil Pack Looms and Clips - V160 Gear Oil - Full Gasket Set - Timing Star - CP Bolt I am thinking more along the lines of Seals etc, should I look to replace these, they are not leaking but the engine has covered around 80k, so perhaps a refresh would be a good idea? Also which items, with regards to the gearbox, should I look to be replacing? Rear seal, Pilot Baring? etc. The Box in question is the V161. Thanks guys.

Style Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The v161 will definitely be due a fluid change at the very least if it hasn't been done dude, think it's after 70k it should be refreshed. Think you've got the main bases covered really bar that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 At the very least the rear crank seal should be changed while you have access, if you're doing the oil pump then the front seal will be changed anyway (I hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the input guys, I will update your input on the list in post one. Geo I am not going to be opening up the engine as it seems to be working fine (compression is spot on) and I don't envisage running a great more than BPU on this engine. More of a OEM overhaul. I think I will add new turbo link pipes to the equation, and some cam breather pipes. I ordered a new Alternator also, and will keep the working unit as a back up. Am I worth replacing the gear box mount? Edited September 17, 2014 by SPG (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could go back It would be 100% more cost efficient to buy a full engine gasket kit and use as I require its surprising how much more they are separate.

Nic Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Just in case you're not aware, if you are fitting pre-facelift engine mounts on a VVTi engine you'll also need to source the pre-facelift brackets so that they'll fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Matt, I will look into the gasket set and the crank sprocket and crank pulley bolt. Just in case you're not aware, if you are fitting pre-facelift engine mounts on a VVTi engine you'll also need to source the pre-facelift brackets so that they'll fit. Hey Nic, I already have the pre-facelift brackets thanks , I also believe that I need to order a different sized bolt for one of the mounts on the off side, as the facelift brackets has a slighlty longer one as standard. Am I right or am I getting mixed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
