Progress

Just finished the IMS and found a couple of interesting things.

The o-rings on both tensioners had lost their elasticity (which I only found when I tried to take them off for replacement) however looked fine on initial inspection. I'm glad I did as they are mission critical to the operation of the tensioners.

I also wished I'd known that the cam end plugs had a brass backing plate and it's only in the exact centre that you can get a pick through to get them off! This would have saved me some frustration trying to get them off!

Also fitted the 996 oil switch as part of my dash upgrade.

Lastly a couple of before and afters!
