Camblet change?

Hi Ian, No the head gasket would not be touched during a cambelt change, if the head gasket has gone take it to an independant garage and they can do what is called a "sniff test" it's a chemical that changes from blue to yellow if the gasket has gone, was the cambelt change done as a routine maintenance or was it from a belt failure as with a failure there is always a possibility of internal engine damage!

the head gasket wouldnt be changed during a cambelt change and the tensioners would depend on whether you asked for a timing belt, or timing belt kit to be changed. Most garages would advise you to put a kit on rather than just a belt but this is not always the case.
