Can anyone confirm that you can change the R/H one without removing the gearbox? Its the one that has the big nut on the barrel for the tensioner.

Yes, the right hand one pivots on a mounting bolt under the plug at the bottom of the right barrel. I'll see if I can get a pic for you. I think you can anyway. I have only done them during full engine rebuilds but from memory it's all accessible. The plug for the left hand one is. Behind the flywheel. Everything has to come off.

Thats promising to hear.
The roller cams still look good after 72,000 mile - pleased about that!

Pete, I found some pictures of an engine on ebay which show the nuts.
