post a picture of the cambelt setup so we can work out what oil pump it has.

Got to say that the state of that lifter is very bad!

Have to say when i removed the cam sproket from the cam itself... was suprisingly easy...

As all will know i am not very strong, and i was able to remove the came sproket single handed...... which means they could have been out at some point  :-/

Heres an easier question......how many holes are in the SIDE of the T vent (the rod type thing we were talking about before with the torx head that screws in to the head near the cams)

ok back to basics....



1) The Cam
2) Torx Bolt
3) The oil flow, to fill the tappets?

1) Correct!

2) No, if you look in the photo where the wires are draped across the head, on the top cam area in the pic you can just see a torx head under the wires where the casting wraps round it.....this is one of the T vents. The other is almost directly below it but screws into the head at an angle.

3) No!

TAKE THE T VENTS OUT AND COUNT THE NUMBER OF HOLES ON THE SIDE OF THEM!
