Well, it finally happened, the 2000 hour plus Suby 2.2 stopped [:0]!!Turned out the cogged idler on the cam belt decided that it was time for new bearings. Just a pity I didnt take the hint when I smelt what I thought was something burning but due to the fact that the ground crew had lit numerous fires that morning keeping warm, I dismissed the smell although in hindsight, the smell had a plastic tinge to it. Anyway, the cog exitited the cam belt cover after cutting a very neat hole and departed the scene without hitting me or the prop !!Needles to say, Tim had me back in the air promptly.Does anyone know where you can source after market idlers and idle adjustere's ??BrianPooncarie NSW

Brian, Repco has a idler, pulley , belt kit for about $400. I thought I mentioned this before when I replaced the crank seal. I reckon you should change all these with the belt. Also heard that the water pump does the same and causes the belt to pop. Ken
