   Am I right in thinking the back Cambelt cover can only be removed if belt and pulleys are removed?
   
   Mine has broke at the top by the inlet side and its rubbing against the pulley so sounds a bit dodgy

   If its rubbing badly just snap off the offending bit. Ive even know a few people run them without covers with no problems.
   
   Though i wouldnt.
