Quotes like that are gonna make me try it and destroy the engine
have a look for post by the late Wammers on timing chain replacement, it will give you a good incite to whats evolvedive had a good read of rave and a few posts detailing it, as always with these beasts it looks incredibly easy on paper. id be more inclined to have a go if i had indoor space to try it.Whats the worst that can happen
All my work is done outside on the drive unless the wife goes out for the day
No way would my "windy gun" get the crank bolt to the correct torque.
They just can't be rrrsed,pity your not closer, have another read of Rave till you fully understand what involved and what special tools required

I’m losing hope at this point.
Sorry you’ve not got sorted it’s the sad reality with older cars. This may be the job that is not only worth doing yourself but will have to be done yourself. I agree you should read it through and work out exactly what you need because you’ll certainly get any hel you need here. Good luck.
Once you start stripping it down it's not that bad of a job,as long as you can do without the car for a while, be methodical and all should be fine, as @Tricky of York posted plenty of help on here. I'm the other side of Chester so can't help you.How close is closer
I wouldn’t even want to attempt it myself to be honest by the time I buy the tools I need it’s gonna be easier to just get it done by someone with them already.
The only thing to note is that the crankshaft bolt must be tightened to specified torque which is effing tight because it clamps the oil pump rotor,I know a guy who bought a 38 that had the chains replaced and the oil light came on when he was driving it home the bolt wasn't tight,he carried on driving and seized it.What a. Knob!!
Oh really? Unlike Kev to turn down work. I am sure he has his reasons, but most unusual.
Wonder the wheel studs don't shearIf and when i need to do mine i will get my son to use one of the torque wrenches he uses on the race care wheel nuts its about 5 foot long and does 400ftp
