That's what I said.

Oops. Sorry missed that? Must drink less🫣. Ha, ha, but you didn’t mention the engine mount bolt. Ten jab no cummee back😀

Thanks very much for helpful comments and yes I will be interested in the cam chain.

It was £39 then. But the 8 rubber dampers are another £35-£40. Plus the cam chain and the new seals and gaskets to it does mount up. I'd never split the bottom end of an engine until then and it was pretty strait forward with no special tools. A puller is needed to remove the primary shaft, but a long bolt with the correct thread was all that was needed.

Thanks for the info, it’s a few years since I did the last one so it’s good to have the memory jogged!

You do need to pull the alternator rotor if you want to swap the crank seal
