I think the leak might be from the front camshaft seal. I will think about the crank seal.... the core plug is on the head but there's a little oil on the head directly below the cam seal.

Bit more slow progress. Inlet cam housing has been off and resealed and a new cam seal was fitted. New water pump has been fitted too. A new Continental cambelt kit has now been fitted with new pulleys and tensioners. The sprung tensioner is a bit of a fiddle even when holding it in position with the allen key the pointer kept moving away from the correct position.
I'm not 100% how the tensioner works and the instructions state that it shouldn't be turned by a whole turn. I'm not sure if I have turned it completely or not so I think I'll spend the £38 from the Peugeot dealer and buy another one just in case! It looks ok just now, belt seems tensioned enough but best try again!

I remember doing my belt and found the tensioner a fiddle to work out. What did you use to reseal cams?

It must be really hard with the engine in the car. It's probably easier with 2 people.
I used loctite 5980.

I used the conti kit on mine last year, don't remember the tensioner being any issue nor has it caused any issue since fitting either.

I am still experimenting with the solid tensioner from an XU engine, apparently it stops the belt whip at high RPM. I just haven't got the right belt length sorted yet

I did think about how a solid tensioner would work and how it fits. I've got a tensioner from Peugeot now. Bit expensive and even the bolt was £6! I put the original tensioner back on the other night and we got the position correct first time.
Ordered a flywheel from Pug1off which are made by TTV in the UK. When that's on and the cam bolts are threadlocked in place the engine will be ready to go back in.

Finally got the flywheel fitted. This needed some attention from the machine shop. So much for being ready to fit.

It weighs 2.2kg less than the original. The hole for the crank dowel was drilled 0.5mm too far away from the hole. So it wouldn't fit. The dowel makes sure the flywheel sits perfectly in position to make sure the timing is perfect. There's more free play on this one so I just hope it's in exactly the right place rotationally.
