Hi all - as part of the Lusty Heartthrob renovation project, I picked up a 2.0 Auto estate in the same paint code (saved me loads in painting costs)
Before it gets weighed in I thought I might nick the cams - is it straightforward mechanically to drop them on the top of the T5 engine?(Same model year 20v engine). If its a PITA job I wont bother, as it sounds like the gains are mythical/marginal at best.
But it looks to me like I can lift the cams, in their carriers and timing wheels complete - swap them across and retime then (as per other detailed threads on here) without too much grief. Can anyone who has done it confirm or deny? And if so will I need two cam locking tools or do they fail to be of use once you have the assembly completely off the head?
Its slightly hypothetical until I get both engines covers off and measure the cam lobes for wear.
Cheers Woz
