if you have done a cambelt before, then you will find this job just as easy.

its not as intimidating as it looks, everything is fixable if you have the guts to do it and get over that initial "what if" factor. this was the first time i had done anything like this in this much detail on any motor for myself, it took me half a day and the longest bit - changing the cambelt.
