Damn camry's cambelt stripped its teeth,so car no go no more.

Will try throw another cambelt at it,but even if that works its getting a bit old in the teeth so needs replacement.Just when I had my heart set on a RF900 to replace the old GN250.Dawn life,always something to throw a spanner in the works,but got to do whats right by the family,and a cage is what is needed to transport the littlies,so a cage it is what I shall get instead of my bike upgrade.

.At least the Gn will be cheaper to run if not boring.

A decent GN sells for $1,5K or a fraction more, and fast! You will easily get a decent 400 - 600cc for that. (I picked up a 400 that needed a new head gasket for $500, had Rego and WOF)

Where there is a will there is a way.

Hey, sell that GN, spend $1K on a bigger bike and you have the $$'s to fix the car too!! ;-)

The horror of it all, we all weep with you in this time of great sadness.
Could you sell the littlies

then you will not need the cage upgrade.

Albany Toyota told me, when I replaced my Camry cam belt last time, that even if it does strip, slip, tear, or shread, there is so much clearance that nothing touches....Should just be a cam belt replacement you're up for......Now we find out how accurate they were....

Well finally changed the cambelt and what do you no it runs

,however its down on torque,will do a compression test .I might be out a tooth on the belt.
Will also check ignition timing,but that shouldn't have changed.
Anyway still need to replace cage with something newer.
