when you do the belts on these it isn't just a case of locking cams up. You
lock the cams before you take the belt off and fit the new belt.Then you
take the locking plates out and put another aligning tool on. You then turn
the idler pulley's to line the cam pulleys up fully - takes a while. Then
you have to set the tension correctly.

Nice one, thanks.

I think I'll probably try the Laser kit as I've not found any negative
reviews or posts.

Thanks for the Autodata guide, are they readily available for other
service jobs?

Sounds like i better leave myself a good long time then!

Another question, i see there are more than 1 types of 'timing belt
kits' for my engine and year.
One with raised outer edge on tensioner pully and one without.
Is there any way of telling which i need before i take it apart?
