louis, there are a few things that you will need before you start. An air
gun and a compressor to remove the crank bolt whis on veryveryvery tight
275nm of torque.spray this bolt with a penetrating agent every day for a
week before trying to undo.The cam sprockets are not locked on to the
camshaft via a key but only held on with torque! you must use a torque
wrench on reassembly.again, the crank pulley only held on by torque send me
ur email address and i will send a work list for you. paul
