197 cams and GrpN timing are two different things, just so you know.
GrpN is for stock cams with the intake cam advanced and the exhaust cam retarded.
197 cams it's only (usually) the intake cam which is advanced, usually 7-8 degrees.
In both cases you are moving the power band up, so low...
There's a decent brand of circlip pliers which I can't remember the name of, but basically they are a 2in1 action so that you flip the lever and they go from an opening style to a closing style.
Might be worth a search, saves you buying two pairs.
Best way is to get the 5L pagid fluid from Euro and run it all through, 1L per caliper.
Then if you want high temp stuff for track, just rebleed again with whatever stuff you want.
Should be easy without abs.
Try tapping the calipers with a rubber/plastic hammer as you're bleeding them...
Just done the cambelt on mine and it was 18 months overdue, so 6 and a half years old.
It looked almost new after only doing 5k miles a year.
The aux belt is the one that will cause problems. Mine was just 3 years old and looked worn, however the tensioner was mint.
I've got the 1/2" mid torque yeah.
Plenty of power with 850nm loosening and 600nm tightening.
Not many jobs where you'd need much more unless it's heavy plant machinery imo.
