Greetings all.
Hope all is well with the buses
I'm in the process of agreeing scope of work and costs for BEB replacement.
Have re-read all the previous postings (Craig - you had some very good info posted) I've saved on this topic & checked a few postings on the net.
I just wanted to check a few things and get the scope of work clear before I commit and would appreciate any clarifications.
1. Job involves replacing big end bearings and shells only.
2. Replacing the BEB cradle is the same as replacing the shells?
3. Milner Parts are OK because they are as per original Al/Sn brg's - as opposed to some spurious parts that are copper/lead?
4. If going for Milner parts do you still have to remove the sump and read off the numbers stamped on the big ends on both the conrods and the crankshaft?
5. You should consult the workshop manual to work out what size you need then get one shell size thicker this tightens the clearance 1-2 tenth's of a thou to allow for a little wear and bedding in of the crank??
6. Cam belt Idler pulley should be changed aswell
7. Timing belt, idler & tensioner should be done at the same time - all Toyota parts.
Any insight much appreciated
Thanks
