Yes but you'll also need to crank to align too as it's usually two full revolutions of the crank to set the timing mark up. you can't turn it once and think that's it it's set ad it doesn't work like that.

Set the crankshaft at tdc, the little notch in line with the indent in the back plate.

Set the camshaft at tdc. Cant be a hundred percent they fully line up because of the angle of the phone but I reckon it probably does?

Ha, got the larger breather pipe off, now for the small one. If I cant get it off though, can I take the rocker cover off first and then try and wiggle it off that way? Cos its pretty stubborn

The small one is usually easier. Break the seal with a pic/screwdriver first then pull it off.

Good work! After you have removed all the rocker cover bolts it may still be stuck down. Tap around it with a hammer and it should come loose.

Fuel pump off but I dropped the barstewards banjo bolt. I can see it but its going to be a pain to get back. Moving onwards

EDIT : makeshift bolt retriever  :signLOL:

Ive got the front of the valve cover free with a little prying with a screwdriver, dont think ive done any damage to the mating surfaces. Ive just got to free the back now... I tried rocking it for a minute or two but left it for now.

Il do the rest tomorrow. Ive just put a glove over the air intake and put a cloth over the fuel pump hole and shut the bonnet so should be good untill tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to see either a goosed chain or tensioner, something to explain the engine cutting out/refusing to start.

Will I be able to see the valves once the rocker cover is off? Possibly see some bent valves

You won't be able to see if the valves are bent and the head will have to come off for that.
At least engines turning over by hand and the timing lines up  :smiley:

Car should still start and misfire with bent valves. possible cam chain tensioner failure is what I'm thinking. that's my opinion.

So I think this might support my theory so far, looks like inlet cam is out of whack. The cambelt links exhaust cam, and seeing as I have set tdc, the notches on the exhaust cam are vertical. Whereas the notches on the inlet cam (controlled by cam chain) are nowhere near vertical. Almsot horizontal.
