Well if you want Curry that much  :D

I do need work doing on the 3.2 now, which is:

- Replacement of faulty/dead lifter, I already have a bag of new ones. Kindly donated by Mr MasterDTM.  :)  :y
- New Cambelt, which I already have too! It's a 3.0 one, but Master says the back plate can be switched over.  :-\

I don't have a locking kit, plus I'm not too confident to strip down as far as the cams and remove them.

I need to my belt (it's overdue)  and I have the kit,  plus a teeny bit of experience changing them  :)

Let's find a suitable date to do them. . If we work side by side it'll go quick.

Sounds like a plan is appearing  :) You be ok with changing the lifters too?

I'm fairly free from now until Christmas, most weekends are available.  :y

Can fit three cars outside here on the drive at a push, although only one in front of the garage. I will probably trial cam cover gaskets Dbug has used, due to costs, as the millage on the 3.2 is very low at the moment.

I'd stock up the beer/drinks fridge in the garage  :D

If you have any spare ones left tunnie , wouldnt mind a few as mine is going to need doing at some point  :( Dont mind paying for them , or are you replacing the whole lot ?
Think im going to bite the bullet and keep this car what with all thats been spent on it  ::)

I was advised to change the whole lot, I recall Master saying he thought it was one on passenger bank maybe.  :-\

Best solution would be for me to swap all of mine out, then test them to find the faulty one. Then know rest are good.  :)

Once I've sorted mine, you are welcome to mine for free. Could sort some OOF postage out  :y
Meaning both sides  :-\

Could not be 100% sure which side it is, since the cambelt is being changed anyway and everything is off. Might as well, unless the suspect/dead one is very clearly identified early on.

Should be with a bit of wood and press/feel for play  :-\
