Engine parts

Hi all,

I am looking to source some parts for my 2.3L petrol slant engine.

Head gasket set
Head gasket bolts
Timing belt kit
Cylinder head for unleaded fuel

Are these easy to come by or are they fairly specialist nowadays?

Thanks in advance!

Ewan

Engine parts.

Hi Ewan,

The first thing we need to know is which engine your Bedford CF has in it because you are very close to the changeover point from slant-four to Opel/Cavalier type engine.
You mention a timing belt which leads me to think you have the a slant-four 1.8 or 2.3 Bedford engine, if it is the older slant-four 2.3 you will not require new head bolts because they are not of the stretch type.
The head sets for the slant-four engine are available on E-bay as are the timing belts, a cylinder head for unleaded fuel might mean you buying a second-hand one and having it upgraded with stainless steel valves and seats.

Hi Doujoy,

Thanks for getting back to me,

As far as I am aware I have the 2.3 petrol slant 4

I have found someone reasonably locally who can refurbish the cylinder head assuming it is in good condition when it is taken off (still attached at the minute)

I have found the head gasket sets on ebay but I am not having much luck with the timing belt kits, could you point me in the right direction?
