It's a 5 hour job for someone competent with the spanners, so a 'bit of cash' would need to reflect that.

Sorry I'm in the Salisbury Wiltshire area and yeah the cash would be discussed before hand to make sure they're happy

Took 25mins to make a brew, stare at the engine for a bit, then take the engine cover off  :smiley:

I think he might mean the three rings that are on the cam cover shaft bit that inserts into the adjuster. I think if the cover doesnt come off square they can break

I meant to check, they arent meant to be whole rings are they? Supposed to have a little break in them right? @doylebros
