Really wanted to get the damn tappets sorted on project lpg this weekend, but got no locking kit :(
I can strip down and fix/replace the tappets without it, but need it to put it all back together again.

Me! But a bit far away. :(

He does but its out on loan...

Cant you go and fetch it, kill two birds with one stone!!
James has one, have you asked him?

Hummmm i thought about you but thought you did not have one..... i am tempted to make the trek.
But could we get it done in a day? - Strip down to the tappets, manually clean each one, replace dude ones (got spare ones thanks to MrDTM)
Then re-assemble?
Jay - PM Replied :y

To strip, you dont need the kit :-/
Take it to 60 degree btdc (I think!), remove belt (watch fingers!)
Only need kit to reassemble.

Taking the belt off is my main concern.... i will need assitance for that.
Rest i can do.
Kevin, you free maybe tommorow or Sunday?? I can make the Trek.... I would love to put it on Autotrader this weekend :D

if someone confirms the 60 degree bit, belt come off easy (release tensioner, carefully remove pulleys, then take belt off)

How much are you around tommorow?

I have no idea yet, so work on the principal I'm not about during the day.

I have kit and super size spanners for loan

If the crank is set to 60degrees BTDC you can do what you like to the cams so you only need the kit to reassemble. :y
Don't think I'm up to much this weekend if you wanted to pop over. It's probably a full day's work but do-able I'd say. When we did ClarCE's cam change it took from 10 AM until I had to disappear at about 6 when he was just refitting the cam belt. Then he did one of his legendary all-nighters and put it all back together.
You'll obviously need new cam cover gaskets, cam oil seals to be safe and the 2 types of sealant for the cam cover gaskets and the front cam bearing shells. A low range torque wrench would be good too.
Would be investigating the emissions light that came on yesterday if I had my cheapo Tech2. Any bets? Post cat Lambda readings?

Yes - 60deg BTDC, so crank at 4 o clock. Then pop the belt off and let the cams relax...

Whoops - Sorry Kevin!
I left the Cheapo Tech2 at Tunnies when sorting out his LPG probs, (along with my lead lamps, and goodness knows what else!)
Tunnie - if you go to Kevs could you take it with you? I guess that could work out quite well.
If not, pop it in the post to Kev (special delivery) and let me know what it costs.
Cheers

No rush, James. :y
I know what the problem'll be ::) usual 3.2 aggro.
Was on vapours so pulled into a Total garage I don't normally go to and put a splash in (too expensive to fill up). 1/2 a mile up the road the light came on. ::)
Kevin
-
right, going to have a bash at it myself today! :o
Kevin - Its too late for me to come down now, and i feel it would be a bit rushed. Hopfully strip down today, and spend the afternoon cleaning all the tappets really well.
Then re-assemble next weekend, with either Jaimes kit or if James is around....
James - Going to a course on Monday, but on Tuesday i can post the tech2 lead from work :y
I'll post up photos when i get down to the crank :y
-
btw thanks to Jaime for popping the vice over, sorry i was not up! :-[

Us 3.2 owners should club together and bulk buy some 'cataclean'!
