i am thinking of having a go at the cam belt my self so any help would be appreciated, out of 10 i think my mechanical knowlege is 5. Is it difficult, i am aware the running costs of a larger car as i used to have 3 x 2.8i granadas and a 3.0 carlton, i have used most of my budget on the car purchase and enought left over for the actual cam belt and thats it, i am worried i may cock it up, i have never done one befor.
help :-/

If you PM Robin Hood, he will supply you with the DVD, it will also explain the special tools you need.

You will need a GM V6 cam locking/timing kit (not possible without, whatever people may say), and you must change the kit (belt and tensioners).  Waterpump is not cambelt driven, so not critical, but while you're there.....
