Ok yet another update.

Got her all stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt today and now look like a tomato. Saved the timing for tomorrow moring as was getting late and have had quite a few beers so will do it sober 

One question though. The timing I got from VX does not have white marks where the timing should line up. I take it this is due to VX saving money again. Is there a trick to ensuring all the slack is taken up or will the tensioners do it for me ??

Going to watch DVD agains shortly just to get a better idea

IIRC you're using a proper locking kit, so you can check the cam timing after you've put the belt on.

Yes Im using a proper timing tool so hopefully it will be spot on. Just worried I may end up with too much slack on one side.

You'll be OK.

I bet it is easy compared to mine - day 3 tomorrow

I think Im winning if your only on day 3. Im on approx day 42 as I started it on Easter Bank Holiday.

Been one problem after another, and even if I do get it running tomorrow Im not putting it on the road until next weekend after my new timing cover comes and will tax her at the end of the month
