Ok.... Cheers.....cam sprocket locking tool should be here tomorrow so will look forward to a bit of fun on Sunday

And then that's the right position for setting the cams to .?

How is this done - is there a special tool or just jam in a flat screwdriver etc?...and is there a mark on the flywheel ?.... Cheers

Fingers crossed - its quite straightforward isn't it :smokin:

Thanks - and to ensure they are right - rear inlet cam pulley is located on the in slot on the pulley and the front exhaust cam pulley located on the exhaust slot of the pulley ???.... Really appreciate the help.

So I take it this can be done with the engine in situ?.....is there a tool available to do this - and this is the position the crankshaft needs to be in and set with the cam shafts ?...thanks

Yes I think garage are at fault - and maybee I will take it up with them once I have solved the problem Ok i think I have managed to screw up the timing as when everything has gone back together I think we have somehow managed to get the cam sprockets mixed up So it's back to square one - can...

Not looked but is it easy enough to get the sump off - any obstacles ?

Cheers - can you add anything regards the rail that the head bolts thread into - I understand this is accessed via the sump ...?...ta

By how much ?.....I'll have to check tomorrow as car is at my fathers house ?....cheers

Hi james - no the liners don't protrude from the face of the block - so just use emery paper to smooth out as best as possible in just that area ?

The mark to 2oclock is more of a gouge - you can feel this with your finger - its not near the water channels as you can see - that's why I am a little unsure
