Jimjon 28 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've done it three times now, its not too hard to fit the actual timing gear, its getting to them that's a pain in the arse. Am just down the road in Dunmow so not too far away. Will be the crank seal you want as well, fitted to the bottom timing chain cover. MJ Vr6 1 Link to post Share on other sites
