DF10 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I stupidly, when putting my engine mounts back on today, trapped the inlet cam sprocket which had no bolt in, and chipped a tooth. My scrappy has no 1.4's, but a couple of 1.6's and 1.8's. would the sprocket be the same size? Also, could anybody suggest a way to remove the bolt below (alternator/engine mount stud) as the star head broke of when loosening, i think is cross threaded, and have tried locking 2 nuts together (as seen in picture) and then anyi/clockwise turning the furthest to try to turn the bolt, had a few revolutions in over an hour of trying but now the thread is no more. Was thinking about hacksawing it off so I can slide the mount off for now, and then using a stud extractor? Is this doable? Thanks for any help with either.

artscot79 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 they use the same water pump and cambelt kit as the 1.6 so yes a 1.6 will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DF10 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Update: in regards to the latter, stuck engine mount stud. In case anyone else ever runs into this problem. Spoke to a ford technician who gave me some tips. Gave it a good crack head on with a hammer to break up any oxidation, then screwed on 2 15mm washer nuts on top of the nut I had already on there. Tightened the washer nuts in to each other, Then attached a pair of mile grips behind the thread as hard as possible, and turned the middle but anti-clockwise alongside the mole grips. Took a little while an had to reset the miles each time but it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
