Mechanic went misisng in action ?? what run off with another mans wife?? ,these cars are not difficult to sort out ,cam caps is 8nm and the head is showing 25nm with loads of funny slacken and tighten procedures ,well start in the middle and work your way outwards alternatly ,which i dare say you know about now i just do three passes here ,first is a rachet pull down ,then a bar then a cup of tea and the third pull down with a bar ,i would imagine around 75nm is the ideal but doing this job for so long i just sort of feel for the bolts stretching ,which the book says to renew but then thats a dealer thing for more money from a job ,start by marking the bottom pulley at TDC whilst head is off then back it down a bit in opposite engine rotation ,then fit head and the cams making sure no1 cyl has the inlet and exhaust valves closed then look for the timing marks ,i have doine quite a few but i can never remember i think these have two lugs on the cam ,cannot remember but i do know one of them lines up with the cam sensor on the back of the head and the slots on the back of the cam are not horizontal with the head face ,anyway with exhaust lobe geting ready to push down and inlet just closed is TDC no1 so look for some marks around this setting ,bring piston up to tdc and away you go ,crank mark is on the flywheel as i remember and its a wider mark than the rest,sorry to be vague but i do so many different types of vehicle i just cannot remember them all because i just work from basic technology and timing an engine isnt a problem with basics i learnt in college 40yrs ago ,Just done a nubria in fact changed the expansion valve on the AC and what a job all the dash out .
