Removerd the cam cover,(no loose bolts) but plenty of gunge.

All the breather pipes connected to the cover are in a poor state, blocked, cracked & full of gunge.

Used white spirit & Gunk to wash out the breather channels in the cover. Was not happy with that so took a screwdriver to the insert piece and broke it off to find major sh!t in there, so will get a new one as well as a gasket.
