Dad and I were talking and we were both convinced to do the cambelts it must be easier to remove the engine than do it with the engine in.
It's taking 4.5hrs to get the engine out and we don't know what we are doing. A Rover MG specialist could do it much quicker.

should do mate, i think there a mg rover vids somewhere that were used for training technicians on how to change the cambelts on the kv6 an as you would expect it's just the engine on a stand. you should have a search for em, may help you with the job in hand
