Hey Everyone,
I am planning on replacing my cams for cat cams later in the year and I wondered if there is a guide on here for doing so?
I'm aware that there is a guide on here for a cambelt change which I have read but it appears to lack a number of torque settings for various bolts and I also understand that autoDoc may be wrong on some of their torqur figures.
Replacing the cam pulleys with the pure motorsport adjustable ones so no need to worry about the dephaser. I am a fairly competant mechanic and have access to the correct Renault timing tools, also deleted AC/PAS etc so aux pulley is a breeze. Engine is also out of the car so access is idealic. Some items i wanted to cover were:

Some items i wanted to cover were:
- Bolt sizes for the rocker cover? I'd like to change these, maybe even for cap heads. I know these are M8 but are they a specific length and is there a pattery for assembly and torque? or just QFT until it doesnt leak?
- Torque sizes for the exhaust pulley and other idler pulleys
- Method for checking cab belt is at the correct tension
