Service items for a 2004 R400 K

[GPBox]

HI all, about to take my first step from Caterham #1 to #2...stepping up to a K-Series R400.

Want to refresh Cambelt + tensioner, water pump (while I'm in there) , DS belt and I also hear DS pump should be 'refreshed'...

have changed my SS1.6 Cambelt etc a few times..so not worried about process...

anyone know the right part number for the belts, tensioner (will it be manual?)

also the DS is new to me..so advice on where to get parts/serviced pump appreciated...

any other key thoughts ?

thanks all

Graham

Cambelt - Gates 5416XS, manual tensioner (INA version is best), metal impellor water pump is paramount.

Dry sump belt is 3PK 765, contitech

​Titan make and service the pump.

Titan will service your scavenge pump for about £100.  You need to remove it and send it to them and expect it to be away for a few weeks.  If I were you, Id enjoy the car in the summer and leave it all alone until winter - then do the timing belt, tensioner & water pump (consider fitting vernier pulleys and properly timing in the cams at the same time). 

After you've established it all works again, drop the oil for its winter service, remove the DS scavenge pump and send it away for service.

May be worth changing the alternator bolts ... they have been know to fail
