Title: Rain stopped play yet again Timing Chain job
Post by grandadman on Aug 21^st, 2008, 2:43pm

Hi folks,

I am about to give up doing this job

http://www.x100p.co.uk/RAIN AGAIN.jpg

It's proving very difficult doing work under the car

on my drive, and a bit worrying to say the least.

I have not yet removed the sump but I have the timing

cover loose but it wont come off so I can see I will have

to get the car to a garage to work off a ramp...http://www.x100p.co.uk/Car_serviced_3.gif

The future is not looking good :(

Sumps dead easy to remove, get car up on couple of axle stands, undo engine mtgs, steering column, either use an engine support beam, or you could put a jack under front of crank, remove front frame bolts, frame will then drop enough to access & remove sump.
