I've done some more dis-assembly today, got delayed by a couple of awkward bolts and ran out of time before I could get the bottom pulley undone. However I did get a few pics.
Pic 1 and 2 are incidental to the belts. Pic 1 shows the water leak I was aware of, seems to be the manifold gasket on cyl 2. However, with things now removed I have sight of the connector on the heater hose, which looks worse. Ignore the fresh puddles from removing the hose!
Pic 3 shows the mess inside the belt cover on bank 2, and pic 5 shows the inside of bank 1 cover.
Pic 4 shows the first sighting of the belt, on bank 2 pulley. At this stage I still had a lot of dismantling to see more.
On removing the bank 1 cover it became apparent the belt was broken. I've lifted the end of the belt to show this in Pic 6
Pic 7 shows a split in the belt at bank 2.
Pic 8 is viewd down towards the idler pulley, with more damage to the belt, and more 'swarf'.
All in, quite a mess.
Tomorrow morning I should have full access to the full belt area.
