It really isn't that hard  :y

probably not,  but its frustrating that something so simple as been manufactured to be more complicated than it needs to be.  another day waits :y

Reading all the above... just reinforces my belief that I should watch JamesV6CDX change mine for me ... :)

Just hope he reads his PM's soon ...   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nigel do it yourself - you will love the swearing ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'll do it myself the second time ... I'll watch/learn the first time on this one ... too many horror stories .... I'm a great believer in employing the RIGHT expert .. and in this case IMHO young James may just fit that description ...  :)

lmao...well my 2p is... it's alot easier with the engine out ;)
also it's quite a nice job if your swapping the cams because pulling the rear timing belt cover plate makes it alot easier to wriggle out.
i didnt find the barstool bolt too bad actually... i'm just thinking about swapping my stat for the cool running courtney one but cant decide which o-ring needs to go where *shrugs* there's three!

You guys forget .. it took me 2 days to do the breathers/cam covers on the old beast, and I had to do the passenger side one twice due to getting it wrong  .. and thats a simple job !!!  

I'm more than happy to pay for "lessons" ...   :)

the passenger cam cover is a bit of a barstuard... i was wrestling with the cable try and getting mauled by plug leads at the same time as trying to get the cover in place! ..along with the rather stupid water pipe!

Good idea to wire tie the wire loom out of the way  ;)
