How to fit cams?? Reppage available

30th July 2008, 08:34

I was just wondering how cams where fitted on mark1 vtr engine (i have a 2000) with the earlier engine in..

Do you have to take the whole head off? Or can you just slide the cam out and slot in a new one??

Sorry for the random question but my cars due a cambelt as its hit 65k so thought i may aswell cam it whilst im at it and get it done...

Well my dad will, but i just wanted to know before i ask him to do it...

ALL WILL BE REPPED WHO HELP OUT

thanks

firstly it has one cam, not cams, if you have cams, there for a VTS.

i was told u can do it in place, i had a silver top roller rocker single plug engine, i couldnt get it out from the rollers, and u have to loosen engine mount and tilt engine, its a load of shit.

jsut remove head, new gasket, new bolts, new camblet, lots done at one time, easy peasy.
