Cambelt timing

[Niall]

Matt it's very hard to break providing you stick to the instructions. Supprisingly, the guide in the Haynes manual is actually very good!
Get some 6mm dowels for the cam pulleys (or m6 bolts....mine were threaded so had to put a bolt in) and 8mm dowel or a long 8mm Allen key for the crank pulley.
Lock the crank pulley off first and then check the cam pulleys. They should line up. If both are out by about he same amount, your crank pulley has slipped and you need a new one. If one is out slightly, it obviously hasn't been timed up brilliantly at a previous change. They can be out slightly but ideally you want them to be perfect.
