C180 K timing chain and sprocket kit

[Wolfie1]

Lots of years ago when faced with a big V8 engines and a belt change we used to cut the belt on the top pulley using a sharp stanley knife,you got the engine idling then carefully found the centre of the belt and pressed down with the knife cutting the belt along the middle , then you stopped the engine,you then released the tension on the belt slid off the outer half and put the new belt on halfway then you cut the inner bit of belt and put the new belt on completely then put the belt under tension and started the engine up,new belt fitted no problem with timing.

Yea but no new tensioners idlers replaced here and that is usually the weak spot
