[QUOTE="Timbo, post: 7960006, member: 772"] The idea is kind of ok ish. Problem is the execution. It's a major job to strip the front of the engine to replace it, the belt itself is substandard and is very sensitive to the oil that is used, and in either case, it sheds material from day one that gets trapped in the oil pickup slowly starving the engine of oil. When the belt breaks it smashes all the rockers & cams which are an assembled unit to replace as a whole, and if that doesn't write off the vehicle, it will in-time seize solid from lack of oil. Around 90-100k is their typical life span. You can of course replace the belt and clean the strainer (£1500ish) and replace the oil every 5k using only the correct ford 5w-20 WSS-M2C950-A oil, but we all know that doesnt happen with Farm trucks [/QUOTE]
