SOunds like a hell of a job, post some pics :p

keep your eyes peeled.... theres a big thread coming soon 

You going to 3.0 cams or similar

Would be wrong not to

I don't recall the sprocket bolts being that tight to be honest, now head bolts..... hernia tight

[Andy H]

IIRC Haynes lists them as being stretch bolts that should be replaced every time the sprockets are taken off (not that anyone I know has done so )

I would drill through the bolt heads to remove them and fit new ones on assembly (if I was feeling really brave I would use some second hand ones..........)

Quite a productive evening...

Sprockets came off piece of piece 

[Webby the Bear]

piece of piss even

Do the sprockets only go back on one way??? how do I get them lined up correctly on refitting...

[JamesV6CDX]

Each sprocket has numbers on it, make sure that number on the sprocket corresponds to the keyway on the relevant camshaft, eg far drivers side number one, and so on. 246 bank sprockets have a longer shaft on them

Thanks James. 

you know when you've taken the sprockets off.... do you mean that where it says ''1'' for example that goes closest to the little shiny metal notch sticking out of the cam seal? sorry for being thick

Lets take drivers side exhaust cam for argument sake. This is no1. Where it says 1 on the pulley, fit the pulley so that the key (bit that sticks out the front if the camshaft) goes in the notch on the pulley closest to where the no1 is stamped.

Typing on my iPhone , does that make sense?
