| question is - how does the cam come out now? i didn't get stuck too much into it, but does the bolt on the front of the timing chain cog need to be undone? |

you don't need to pull the rocker gear off to do the head gasket...
or are you changing cam at the same time? |

As mentioned , yes. Don't worry, the cam and the sprocket have keyway like notches. |

yeh you do. You need to disconnect the sprocket from the camshaft as it doesnt come up with the head and to remove the cam, you need to remove the rocker gear. |

1-drain water-coolant 2-remove 1 battery lead 3-remove all plugs 4-turn motor to #1 fire-timing marks line up 5-remove exhaust and intake manifolds-air intake tubes -any wiring,cables 6-remove rocker cover 7-mark front of rocker gear-i dont know if its reversable,and remove 8- tie timing chain to sprocket use 3 ties-cant let the chain drop of crank sprocket and back of tensioner 9-undo sprocket bolt and ease off cam-has pin dowel and key way,may be very stiff , tap or bump with copper-brass or wood to slide off 10-loosen head bolts from centre out equally-reverse to torque sequence 11- tap or lightly rock head sideways to loosen gasket grip-also may have two dowels to locate head on gasket 12=suck it in its a long reach to lift and get the head out by your self its aluminium---cast iron is much heavier!!! 13-after a beer ,smoke or ? the clean up starts 14-look to see how the gasket failed,water seals corroded,blown between the cylinders,why did it fail? 14-check the head for massive corrosion around water passages-if not sure,clean the gasket off and dry very clean,lay the new gasket on head,if the water passages are in side the gasket ,its ok,if past it,it can be tig welded and re cut with die grinder-carbide cutters 15-the head has to be flat with in a few thousands of an inch-it will pull down,but under different torque tensions,if warped to much,re-machine flat,if you cant see why,get head pressure tested-they crack in funny places 16- re-assemble in reverse order,oiling parts as you go,every part is dry,tension head and rocker gear,front sprocket bolt,release or replace tensioner the rest is yours-some nice pics |

that looks abit messy
1-drain water-coolant
2-remove 1 battery lead
3-remove all plugs
4-turn motor to #1 fire-timing marks line up
5-remove exhaust and intake manifolds-air intake tubes -any wiring,cables 6-remove rocker cover
7-mark front of rocker gear-i dont know if its reversable, and remove
8- tie timing chain to sprocket use 3 ties-cant let the chain drop of crank sprocket and back of tensioner
9-undo sprocket bolt and ease off cam-has pin dowel and key way,may be very stiff, tap or bump with copper-brass or wood to slide off
10-loosen head bolts from centre out equally-reverse to torque sequence
11- tap or lightly rock head sideways to loosen gasket grip-also may have two dowels to locate head on gasket
12-suck it in its a long reach to lift and get the head out by your self its aluminium---cast iron is much heavier!!!
13-after a beer, smoke or? the clean up starts, look to see how the gasket failed, water seals corroded, blown between the cylinders, why did it fail?
14-check the head for massive corrosion around water passages-if not sure, clean the gasket off and dry very clean, lay the new gasket on head, the water passages are in side the gasket, its ok, if past it, it can be tig welded and re cut with die grinder-carbide cutters
15-the head has to be flat with in a few thousands of an inch-it will pull down, but under different torque tensions,if warped to much, re-machine flat, if you cant see why, get head pressure tested-they crack in funny places
16- re-assemble in reverse order, oiling parts as you go, every part is dry, tension head and rocker gear, front sprocket bolt, release or replace tensioner the rest is yours-some nice pics |

i think basically its a straight forward job only thing im yet to figure out really is the timing chain tensioner, if someone could give some clear and conscice way of actually resetting and re tentioning the tentioner for the timing chain i think that would be fantastic. |
PM me with your email address and I'll send you a complete doco on timing chain tensioner r&r and resetting
Regards Bob |
