GregT Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Daughter's Starlet needs cambelt plus probably waterpump. Do we use dealer or can anyone recommend a workshop? I don't have the space or energy to do it myself. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithAviators Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I won’t particularly recommend the workshop at my workplace / dealership because I don’t want to be biased but I am happy to a do a cash trade deal on genuine parts for you. Send me a message if you’re interested Greg 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Depends where you are located too. I trust my local workshop but that might be quite far from local to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 And relax. She's decided she doesn't want to hang around ChCh so is going back home and will get it done in Oamaru. Had a listen and i'm picking it's a noisy waterpump - but she'll get the cambelt done at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side topic but I've ported Yamaha heads - 2,4 and 5 valve. And toyota 2 and 4 valve. Very similar problems suggesting a corporate design policy. Basically up until current product, too big inlets and too small exhausts. Really exacerbated on the 5v's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Thanks for your replies. As GuyWithAviators said, theres none in NZ, 2 - 3 weeks from Japan. Amayama approx half price and shipping is cheap. How do you tag someone with the blue oblong thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
