V6 belt in four hours!

1.5 hours is about right, 2.5 V6 can be done in an hour if it was done right last time (2.5 is easier access due to not titing with the plenum).

V6 Omega is much easier to do than a 4 pot FWD Vx

With strip-down?

All jobs take me twice as long as they should do because I always find something else that needs a look at, so I end up with  3 or 4 jobs on the go.  ::) ::)

All up and running, purring like a kitten... little bit lumpy tickover but I can live with that. Possibly something to do with the heads and the cams that are installed...

Thanks again Andy for the loan of the kit, i shall return it ASAP to you :)

BTW what do you drink...?

I've seen you do a 3.0l in 50 mins, with somebody taking/handing you the parts as you removed/refitted them, after previously doing 3 other cambelts earlier in the day...

...mind you, your drinking uni mates were waiting, and I'm sure I heard a mutter of "its not my car" :P.  The car has done over 100k (and a few more cambelts!) since then...
