B20 engine camshaft change
Hello all,
Is it possible to change the camshaft in a b20 with the engine in the car? Does anyone have a link to a good "how to" guide? Thanks, John |

The radiator will need to be removed and if you are replacing the camshaft with new then the followers will need to be removed which means head off.
As Kishor mentioned its fairly straightforward and easily encompassed over a weekend. Russ |

(I was tempted to ask which car - could be interesting in a PV!)
I´ve read that the fibre timing gears are likely to get weakened when removed so should be replaced If I were you I´d get a copy of the workshop manual just in case

If you replace the timing gears go for the aluminum ones. The steel ones are too noisy.

Yes very easy to damage teeth of fibre gear.
I went back to fibre as steel too annoying. |
