Yep I've got a ratchet ;D

I now have an E-20 socket and a 1/2 to 3/8 adaptor to make it fit!!

Right,  Jaime came round this afternoon and helped me strip the engine down to the cambelt (or at least let me watch!!)  -

Turning the crank was rather easy and there was a distict lack of compression.

Pictures with it set to TDC and the locking kit installed.






Bits from the pully (or tensioner , can't remember which)



Over to you Mark!!

Jaime was concerned about the lack of compression (i.e. next to none), is that likely to have a bearing on that view?

I have seen them survive a two tooth slip.....and given it will need a new belt etc any way there is little to loose (an hour or so's work).

Compression would be down any way because the valve timing is out.

I reckon the exhaust cam on the left bank has slipped 3.  Also, the exhaust on the right bank seems to have slipped back 1 - is this normal?

There was pretty much 0 compression apart from a small bit just before tdc...

Turn engine over as is to 60 deg before tdc and pop the belt off, the cams will spring but that doesn't matter. Then rotate the cams to the alignment marks and re-fit the locking tools.

Bring crank back to TDC and fit locking tool....then fit belt as usual...
