| Ive stripped a lot more stuff but struggling to get the rocker cover off. I did however remove the cambelt and I can turn the camshaft by hand easily - shouldnt be able to - there's no valves being op ... |

Thanks, so the colour doesnt bother you?
Suppose back to the main thing, I cant find a pic or vid showing the rockers exposed but I would imagine that I should not be able to move them side to side ... |

| The car was serviced probably 8-9 month ago. Really surprised how black the oil is. Its not sludge but looks well used. Doesnt look the same to me as others where people have taken this PCV setup off. |

So, decided to open up the engine. Saw that removing the top plastic 'thing' was fairly simple and it allows access to see some of the cam / rockers, so did that.
Ive not had a lot of time but rota ... |

Ive ressembled it all other than putting a new acc belt on. Is there any reason (other than a borked engine) why the car shouldnt start?
It wants to, almost like its not getting fuel. So perhaps va ... |

Hi,
Ive not had time again, will aim to look again tomorrow / weekend. Ours was only 1 or 2 teeth out. It's either lucky or coincidence as it looks like the diameter is larger with the belt under t ... |

Im handy and got loads of tools. Rebuilt engines in the past ...
Its more a question of time, effort and cost. Less about ability unless I need specific tools. Not done any Diesel motors before how ... |

| It had around 5-10K miles on it since I replaced it and the tensioners. Its failed as the Alt Pulley 'thing' let go. |

An update. Took everything apart. Timing marks not matching. Looked to be about a tooth off.
Took crank pulley off, nasty ....
Not even sure how it can only be a tooth out. Reassembled to test a ... |

Thanks. Nor do I.
I simply dont see how the cambelt could have been impacted. It sits behind a plastic cover. If you look at the crank, the belt is well hidden. I dont see evidence of any belt in t ... |
