I started to strip engine down for cam belt change and cam cover gasket change. First time working on an omega but thoroughly enjoying it apart from the fact that I have broken 2 parts just trying to get them off!!!

I am a little ham fisted!!

While you are here Mark - Any news on Cam cover gasket set??

I got tools out and then looked for my big work jacket to find the other half had put it in the half build shed/workshop to cover the chopsaw and its bloody wet through. This meant working in a summer jacket or sitting in nice warm house having a rest listening to football. Hmm warmth and football won im afraid.

Will save work for next weekend!!  :D
