Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
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.
