It's my understanding that they usually remove the engine for this operation - kind of tough to get to the valve springs with the engine in place. Also, I believe that they have to remove the cams (in addition to the valve covers) to get to the valve springs - since it is an overhead cam engine. Of course, you have asked them to replace the TOB with the new improved version? I'm not a fan of lightweight flywheels for average driving - humfrz |

It'll be fun as long as you don't mind listening to the gearbox rattle.

The garage manager was saying that they don't remove the cams but use a method of pressurising the cylinders to stop the valves closing... kinda sounded like witchcraft or magic... |

Cams stay in on the fb engine, they have to come out on the fa. They may have done 3 cars, but it sounds like they’ve all been of the fb variety. Good luck. Removing the front cover in order to remove the cams is where the problems are coming from. |
