Cheers, Datatek. In that case I'll leave it.

Right it's out... The woodruff key looks a little chewed on one corner as does the sprocket keyway. Will it be okay or need replacing? The car was running sweet as a nut besides the leak. Maby it's best just left as is...

The RAVE manual doesn't mention using an adapter sleeve.

I've got the specialty tool for removing the pump. But! Before I commit, how does the tool hold the sprocket central after the pumps tapered shaft is removed? There seems to be space around the tool within the tensioner sleeve, so that can be what keeps it central?

Oh! Might I enquire what that is? 😃

Yeah, I replaced the top one and it didn't do anything so it's probably the lower ring. It's leaking very badly now to the point it's leaving very large puddles where I regularly park it.

Thank you, Mark. That's reassuring advice. Does the fip removal tool fit the tensioner pivot sleeve exactly or will the sprocket be loose after fip removal? I was going to make grooves between the fip caps to align them exactly. Hopefully this will help with the overall timing. I've read 750rpm...

I was going to do them all and just get it over with. I guarantee If I did the quick job it would come back to bit my backside anyway. Oh, right. If you Mark everything off and nothing moves why do they need to be re-timed?

Incidentally, that was wierd. Just as I though has someone replied my phone notified me of your response.

The pumps leaking so it's a removal for new seals. As long as its locked off and I don't turn the pump shaft/woodruff key, does it matter what position it's in? As long as nothings changed while it's out it shouldn't affect the timing when I put it back in. Don't worry, I know to mark the pump...

Do you know if the woodruff key should be TDC on the pump?

Cheers. Had a look but it doesn't say.

Apologies if this is well discussed. I looked but couldn't find a thread. I've got the front cam lobe pointing to the injector side with the edge parallel to the guide visible in the oil filler hole & the locating flywheelpin is in & located (well the crank pulley wouldn't move after so im...

Yes, I did solder a new connector to the FL sensor & put the old sensor back on as the cheap chinese ones were rubbish. Mines sort of behaving itself atm although it sits crooked on the left side. It used to extend to the max height on flat roads doing 30, however, it doesn't do this as often...

Re-upload of my second video. I mixed up the edit first time. This one should make sense...
