I'm with Lizzy on this.  It wouldn't have taken much to say 'Oops yes you're right, I meant cam belt cover'  Cam cover is on top of the cams, cab belt cover...pffft its so elementary its not even worth explaining to him.  Let him get a stone around his cam belt for all I care >:(

We all know you are a mechanical genius (for a lady!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D) runs ----------->

I bet this chap is the type that is never wrong....... ::) ::) ::) ::)

My cam cover has quite a few cracks and that did not improve when I took it off to change the timing belt.

I can see where Lizzie is coming from on this one, as highlighted he does talk about the cam cover, which obviuosly he is talking about, and then said he took it off to change the cam belt, again you wouldn't take the cam cover off to change the cam belt, thus his termanology is incorrect therefore confusing himself as well as others, like lizzie and myself which I had to read at least three times before I realised what he was going on about. The correct terminology MUST be used the correct way otherwise confusion will no doubt cause grief.

Then as the posts' continue he then starts to be sarcastic towards Lizzie then doesn't appologise due to the fact he was in the wrong to start off with then becomes quite rude towards Lizzie because she is a woman. Now I know a few women mechanics and they make good mechanics so don't knock em, we all might take the micheal a bit about it but they can do the job just as well as a man can.
I think Lizzie deserves a public appology from the said person.

This is just my personal view on this and I don't like people being rude to others trying to give help which is what this forum is about and to have some fun.

yes, and? In my opinion it has to be clear on a technical forum that when someone changes the cam belt, he/she does not remove the rocker cover.
I still don't understand why I have to apologise. It was all in good fun as far as I'm concerned and I'm sure if it was in breach with forum rules it would've been deleted.
