[@seanmichael374]

My Chinese made tool has worked 4 times so far, no fail. But still good video for someone who just can’t get that’s

im in Africa can i use old bolts camshaft bolts new,ones they"re hard to come by and money ?

[@comeinhandynow]

Yes I believe you can. That’s what I did.

i don't want to mess with cam sprockets screws. can i remove the cams with sprockets on all together from the vacuum and hpfp side. if i uninstall vacuum and hpfp i think that cams will come off with the sprockets on. so there is no need to loose the sprockets from cams and torque them again and buy new screws for them. what do you think?

[@comeinhandynow]

Yes, but you will then have to remove the whole timing chain cassette, which looks a right pain in the arse.

@@comeinhandynowsorry i dint understand. i will uninstall the chain tensioner, hpfp, vacuum pump etc. with the chain loose i can remove the cams with sprockets on.

@@vaiosdiminikos4628yes you can do that then. I would still check that timing is ok afterwards though, and if any adjustment is needed you will then need to slacken the cam bolts.
