Can anyone please advise on the following:
1. In the Gregory's manual it states that the rocker shaft retaining bolts should be loosened to allow correct tensioning of the new timing belt. I don't understand the logic, why?
2. The camshaft oil seal was leaking, so decided to replace. The old seal was all perished so I need to remove the camshaft thrust plate to completely clean out the old seal and to replace the old O-ring. Is there any easy way to get the thrust plate off the camshaft ? It doesn't want to move without the camshaft.
Thanks in advance.
