That's gotta be the stupidest thing next to the pull out method. Anyways all the good advice has been given. Hope you get it sorted mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the front 2 OK. Were they stripped before the shop work. Did they even remove the R/C cover. It maybe not what you think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun40t Member 98 Member For: 7y 5m 11d Posted 24/04/18 12:05 PM Author Share Posted 24/04/18 12:05 PM I cant put it down to anything else there was metal coming out with the bolts when I removed them( no I didnt strip them) I removed them only with a 3/8 10mm socket. And I would use my torque wrench to retention to specs. What do you suggest is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit will come the right drill bit, the coils & the spanner. I don't know about changing the cam caps, aren't they supposed to be align honed? (but if you gotta do what you gotta do...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun40t Member 98 Member For: 7y 5m 11d Posted 25/04/18 03:12 AM Author Share Posted 25/04/18 03:12 AM Cheers for the reply I also thought they were aligned from factory if I was to change them id have to use a plastagauge to measure the 300s of a mm to get it competly even.
