#35: Re: help and advice Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Sat Jan 03, 2015 11:59 am ---- Done cambelt . Nightmare for access... not much room to move the engine across .
I lowered the subframe& engine (edward) as much as i could (brakelines in way ) .
Did not want to remove the subfame as i only had that day to do it myself over a borrowed pit .. took me 7 hrs to complete with cat welded up to with a flange .
Good luck gaznandrea . a wee polish to head valves before its refitted ?
