The two idler pulleys, note the rubber crumbs, I assume they came from the belt but no obvious signs where

A picture is worth a thousand words.

BTW - Those rubber crumbs probably appeared when you broke the sean on the timing cover.

Hi Mark,

I don't think they were from the timing cover seal, that seems more like a PVC compound and the bits were more rubber compound

Hi hzwart,

No, I didn't do it before I traded it for a new D3, I do have a complete set of instructions though, if you PM me I will send them if you want them

Cheers

those rubber bits are from the sides of the teeth on the belt.

you can quite clearly see the roughing of the edges in the pic of the idler and the cam gear. this happens because of the rubber hardening and then trying to flex.

Its a bit like the cracking that can turn up in suspension bushes or on the edges of the tread blocks of an old unused tyre that gets pressed into servive.
