ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 16y 9m 11d Posted 15/04/09 11:23 AM Share Posted 15/04/09 11:23 AM If you have the timing cover,timing chain and cams off you dont need to lock the crank as all the valves are closed. I have done a few sets and wouldnt reccommend anyone doing them at home without the right tools,especially after a few beers lol. They take alot of patience and care as the collets can fly out anywhere if you try and rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
