Big thanks to TB for comming, helping, bringing tools, and especially from me - bringing spare parts. The bacon butties were great, but it would have been my bacon without TB's trunk full of spare parts!
About 10hrs total. Minor dramas on the cambelts, but nothing serious in the end. Again parts problems for me
Had insisted on 2 kits of cam cover gaskets. Checked with sales weenie 3 times. He insisted that it was all I needed. Guess what? Only had gaskets for 1 side
This time TB was there, and with a spare set [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif] So nothing serious in the end there either.
I'm a lot less sore this time
Was almost perfect in terms of repairs, except one gasket broke leaving me with a decent vacuum leak, and even TB couldn't fix my laptop. That thing's cursed! Once moving, the engine runs much better now. New plugs that aren't completely submerged in oil makes a difference! Breather's weren't really clogged?!
After 2 weeks I am really liking my Omega. Maybe repairs are part of the bonding process, but I feel much better to ahve cambelt and cam cover gaskets done. Car runs great, and except for oil change and a few other extremely minor things it doesn't need anything else badly enough to be worth worrying about. Result!
