There are some bolts at the front of the motor that go through the sump and into the timing cover. Do you have the workshop manual pdf that's been floating around for a while?

You don't have to remove the sump. There are 4 little bolts underneath that you undo and if the rest is undone from the front, including the idler pulley cos that holds the timing cover on too, you can gently lever the timing cover forward and it'll come off. This is assuming you've already got the rocker cover off Here's a couple of pics that might help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with bumping it off anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pulled the old chain off to replace everything. When the tensioner came off the piston fell out and almost into the sump. I thought they weren't supposed to do that. On closer inspection it appears the teeth on the catch stopping it thrusting forward have warn off down. Am I right? Is this broken and I should buy a new one. If so should I get an atomic one or an OEM. I read some threads on here where people were saying OEM but that was a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
