iv seen there is a kit that has a modified pully in it and i just wonderd if this needs changeing every time or if it is permanent and what sort of age should the pully and tensioner be changed?

The kit with the bottom pulley in it is a must if yours is an early 300, the early bottom pulleys didnt have the a guide plate on the front and the cambelts could slip off and end up being destroyed by the teeth on the pulley, leading to a very expensive engine rebuild! :doh: Once the bottom pulley has been changed you shouldnt have to do it again. But as for the tensioner to play safe its worth replacing but Ive had tensioners run on cars for 2 or 3 cambelts so you need to inspect it when you take it off. hope that helps??

Modified bottom pulley once changed does not need changing again.
Fit the whole kit and next belt change just check pulleys and if bearings sound and feel good then just change belt.
