So the engine arrived Thursday - Thumbs up to Zred again.

He told me its from a rover 75 so yesterday i changed the following as some parts were different:

Cam covers
Coilpack
Engine loom
Intake manifolds , VIS housing...

Now the fuel line on the 75 was closed at one end like so ( No 2 ):



This is my fuel rail:



It goes under the air intake and faces towards to bulkhead. I've looked around the engine bay and can't see anything which it connects too...

I've been looking around on the inter-webs and can't find any info about it.

Thanks!

The Green connector in your hand goes to the fuel rail.

The tube is for the brake servo, the open end will fit to the plenum.

Not sure why the throttle cable is so long.

I need your help guys!

I purchased the locking tools from a supplier in Spain. These i believe are some Chinese brand unknown but for 80 euros there a bargain compared to ones i've seen on various sites.

I've watched the KV6 timing belt video on youtube about 20 times so i was confident about the job. I first checked the rear cams was aligned which they was and the crank was in the safe position. I was planning on changing the belt without removing the cam bolt. Went ahead and removed the tensioner, at this time i started to remove the belt from the right hand side.

The right cam then springed out of position which then knocked the timing position of the rear cams, since i removed the belt it then slipped on the left hand side and springed out of place.

I used the tools which aligned the right hand side correctly - Both to my timing marks and the rear cam lines are level straight. As shown here:



Right hand side rear cams:


Left hand side is completely out of sync for some reason. Does not align with my timing marks and either do the rear cams align:



Rear Cams:


Have i been a complete twit and done something?

Any help would be fantastic

I am no expert but that doesn't look far out, 1 or maybe 2 teeth.

The cams will move slightly because of the tension from the valve springs, when you refit the front belt you'll need to move the cam pulleys back to line up your timing marks.

I'm finding it difficult to actually put the belt on , seems likes its too small :/

I've tried making sure its tight enough to reach all the gears and pullys but seems to be a right pita!

I'm starting from the crank and using a peice of plastic to keep it held in place.... Really need another person to help me

Have you got the locking pin in the tensioner ?
