20v sounds like a diesel

It should be a normal Spring tensioned on the ST. BT is hydrologic (i hate you hydrologic tensione)

[JP]

On the blacktop you have the tensioner pulley assembly and the hydraulic ram. The silvertop uses the normal spring type setup similar to a 16V.

[Jorrs]

for the price i wish it was hydrolic though

has anyone had luck with tracking down the silvertop pulley price and part num ?

[JP]

you're missing a part number for the hydraulic setup, it's got the tensioner AND the ram, so ends up costing more than the silvertop setup.

pm Mr Revhead for the correct price on the silvertop pulley.

[Sam_Q]

does that mean that if your tensioner is ok or your using a silvertop one then its just the same as a silvertop pulley?

[JP]

from memory... to use a silvertop tensioner on a blacktop, you also need to swap the oil pump as the casting is different.

[Sam_Q]

yes thats right

just confirmed the price from Castle Hill toyota for the VVT intake cam pulley - ~$650 retail.

[The Witzl]

NZ$400 aint too bad i spose - was that sea freight (6-10 weeks)?

[pornstr20v]

how can you check it if its ur vvt

[JP]

apply 12V to the VVT solenoid, if the rattle stops it's the VVT pulley.

[Jorrs]

sorry where is the VVT solenoid ?

[JP]
