    I replied to your pm steve, but incase anyone else in the future needs it, it's 12nm for the 10mm cam cover bolts. not to be over tightened

    Thanks.
    Do the cam seals go into the head as per normal or does the one on the de-phaser sit on the actual pulley, I ask as someone else started to strip the engine so I can't remember if they both went into the head on the camshafts or if one sits on the de-phaser pulley itself if you see what I mean. Got 3 different seals in the head kit you see
    Got the head on & torqued up, all set ready for the belt to go on but my mate was unsure of the seals so we stopped

    Seals go in the head steve. If it'sa 172/182 with dephaser than you use the bigger inlet seal. The dephaser will slip into the seal when you fit it. You wont be able to push the seal into the head/cover once the cover is torqued up. Not easilly anyway

    Bugger, looks like I'll be taking that off again then, maybe sometimes a haynes book of lies does come in handy

    OK, rather than start a new thread, forgive me as I'm totally new to the F4R
    Does oil & water flow through the side of the head/thermostat housing ?
    I ask as I have another engine spare that I bought & noticed it had oil in the side of the head yesterday as the thermostat housing has been removed, didn't want to sell a lemon on as I ended up rebuilding the head on my one in the end. It was running as I removed it from a breaker, just wanted to check.
