connect belt job

[advance]

hi
im changing the timing belt on my 53 reg tdci the dealers told me it has a modified top pulley????
i ask a tech who was in the car park and he said it was bolderdash,never fitted one yet,desk boy siad when you break the taper on the pulley to do the timing the have a tendency to slip,so they have made a new pulley???

Both items are not 100% correct

There is a modified camshaft pulley for use on some early vehicles, it's been a long time since I did one, but I think the parts suffix was BC out of the factory and it was replaced with CD.....but don't quote me.

The cam belt care kit had details of it in the belt / tensioner fitting instructions.

This change wasn't anything to do with getting the pulley to stay tight on the cam, but more to do with a very slight change in the tooth profile on the gear.
