No ideaI is just a fabrication monkey you're the electrical wizard

Crazier than a box of frogs on acid
Evening gotta bit more done tonight.
Distributor, water pump and timing cover now removed.
Also have removed all the tappets, well nearly all of them, one has to come out once the camshaft is out
So on with the pictures!
Wasn't too much hassle to get all that lot off. In the first picture with my finger pointing at the timing chain is it at rest. The next one is me pushing against it and there is the same amount of play each side. Definitely seen better days!
And last picture is of one of the tappets, most have a concave (is that the right word? Sounds right but probably isn't!) face that's a random pulled from the lot. I think there was one or two that looked worse.
Tomorrow evening's plans! Get the camshaft and that remaining tappet out then turn the engine over and start on the bottom end. Unless ive missed anything?

The wear on the tappets is normal so is the chain slack. I must say that under your timing cover is quite a bit more black than mine! Also... whats that wire coming out of the vacuum mech on the dizy?
