There isn't one yet. I've got one to do in a couple of weeks though so was intending doing one. Do you want talking through it?

[griff2494]

No problem, I'll type one up later on today and post it in the test section

When are you doing it?

[griff2494]

nice one cheers mate :-)

hopefully im going to start it today ,still waiting for the postman to bring the cam locking tool (should be today)

and the hg and bolts

but i was thinking i could remove everything else i can before the cams to when it arrives im already to crack straight on

i assume if i take manifold etc off,and line up the crank to its marker ? (i assume theres a marker on the crank pullie/casing)

then it will just be waiting for the postman lol

i have a valve compresser ,so do you think once head off i may as well do the oil steam seals,clean vaulves etc?
