Did you just remove it from the engine, or dismantle it as well?

Reassembling the timing unit. Doesn't seem to be featured in any of the manuals I've got

This video might help?

Yeah looks easy, not sure why I had a spastic moment there.. was probably running low on coffee at the time.
As a look forward I've got some quotes for powdercoating, there's basically 2 which look good and aren't too far from a route I often travel (there's not much local to me.
The first is PCL powder coating in Bridgewater

They said a medium to large frame would be around £160-170 inc blasting etc which is a little more than I was expecting. I asked them about spoked wheels and they said the can do them delaced or as a single unit for £55/wheel provided the chrome is in ok nick.
Secondly I called Perfectadent in Bridgend.

They said a frame is £100+VAT which is reasonable, I asked them about spoked wheels and he said they can do them as a single unit but they don't offer a warranty on the spokes as they said it can be hit or miss how long the coat lasts. He recommended sourcing some black spokes.
To be fair it made sense what the guy at perfectadent said so I may go down that route. Looking at their FB page they do a lot of frames etc.
Does anyone know where I could get the right sized spokes in black??

Got the timing all squared away earlier today
Annoyingly I've just noticed that the cam tower for cyl 1&2 is significantly damaged on exhaust side :( all the others look fine and the rocker spindles all look good. I remember when I was taking the top end apart following a rubbish Haynes manual I've got it never mentioned backing the tappets out before removing the spindles and in my noobness I just tapped the spindles out with a screwdriver and hammer (well as far as I can remember that was the only one which needed it). Must have damaged it in the process as there's no corresponding wear on the spindle.
Annoyed is an understatement but everything's a learning curve for me.
Trigger:
That is a easy repair ;)
