    Cambelt change, just venting

    its a fairly easy job but you will need the cam out to make it easier. use a gas torch to heat up the end to burn the locktight. then drill a small hole in the stud and use a easy out to remove it. if there is enough of the stud protruding then weld a nut to it and then remove it that way.

    Tricolore trophy 2020

    So bit of an update. After a few issues with oil leaks then overheating lost all faith in the engine so have pulled it out and stripped it. (Was built by someone else) .
