D.I.Y Camshaft replacement - how hard and long ?
Discussion
Morning Gents,
I'm after any views from those that have undertaken the replacement of a camshaft and all ancillaries that go with this as to how hard they found it and how many hours it took. The reason I am asking is that I am thinking of this as the winter project, but having been on the RPI engineering website I have scared myself sh*tl*ss with what is required and difficulties / problems. I'm not inferring any negative comments on the RPI site as it is very informative , more about some help in deciphering what they are saying.
I'm assuming at present that the cam can be removed with the engine in situ ?
I will need to replace the cam, cam chain, rocker shafts and tappets. I'm not sure about the pre-loading of the tappets as advised on the website ?
Please excuse the perceived levels of naivety, but we all have to start somewhere
Many Thanks
Jeremy
