well finally got that worn cam changed (taps, timing chain, gaskets etc etc) wow what a difference, need to learn and listen to the engine again though, sounds very different now Im firing on all 8 cylinders rather than what appeared to be only 7 ;-)

will upload some pic later, some serious wear on the first 3 sets of cams.

car had done around 76,000 miles so I guess she was ready

Mine has done 111,000+ on the original cam, it still runs like a dream, but I'm quite tempted to pull off the inlet manifold and have a look at the state of it.

It might explain why I couldn't quite keep up with my brothers M3 wink
