Title: In at the deep end
Post by: red62 on 16 July 2008, 22:13:17

Well after completing the cam cover gasket and associated pipe cleaning
I thought I would tackle the cam belt & water pump got the DVD  the other day parts and locking kit arrived today will go for it this weekend. Just one question how long should this take, do I tell her who must be obeyed I will be under the bonnet all weekend  ;) so she cannot go shopping or just one day ? And are there any problems I may come across that are not covered by the DVD.
Any advise would be appreciated.

last one i did was about 2hrs, but i did have a real, real, real bad hangover at the time...

1/2 day is enough for first one. more than enough
