I've just been looking at Haynes, and its a fair job.
I got a genuine set of oil pump gears off ebay for a good price, and have a new crankshaft pulley.
I'm going to make up a list of all the parts I will need to replace the chain, idler, camshaft sprocket, and the 3 chain rails, plus all of the seals and o rings etc.
Then I'll take a very deep breath and review my options.
That then leaves me with a top end overhaul to contemplate - at that point the engine should be good for a long time.
Wish me luck.
