I used to be a technician at a local garage, never lost my skills with the old spanners.....

Not too bad a job...

Camshafts with locking/timing tools in place....
Under-wing shot of crankshaft cam sprocket and timing marks....
Water pump and cambelt run.....
Cambelt hydraulic tensioner retracted and locked in off postion with special tool.
Rear belt with timing tool in use.
New main belt in place with new water pump installed.
Rear belt guide pins in place, aids pulley fitment no end.

kind of reminds me of the time i wrote off me first car, i did say kind of, i was taking a girl i'd only just met to the beach , when i managed to hit a kerb, crash right through a garden wall and wreck the bloody thing, to cut a long story short, i rebuilt the car from the front subframe back up, new wings, bonnet, valance everything, not bad for an 18yr old spotty jamook, took forever mind, and it went down the road like a pissed up crab :laugh:
