Hi all,
First post here! Although i've managed to find a lot of useful info on here i'm still missing a few bits...
Managed to pick myself up a cheap V230 Ambiente Auto which needs the top end sorting. I've been squirrelling away on it over the wknd and have got down to the final few bits before the Head comes off!
Just about to take the Tensioner out (have found links on how to reset it) but wanted to check with the forum on the best way of getting the chain off. I have locked the cams off which sets the crank pulley at about 20 ish +TDC. I was then thinking about removing Outlet cam sprocket ( 3-4 allen bolts) off end of cam and the slipping chain off Inlet and removing rest of Head.
Thoughts?
The Chain would have only done 63K so probably going to reuse it and Guides/Tensioner. Am i right in saying that there is a split link somewhere along its length? Just incase i need to completely remove it.
Also, Can anyone supply torque settings for putting everything back together. I cannot find them anywhere. This van seems to be pre-internet and so all the info is on old micro fiche that i can get hold of.
