Ya know the most difficult part about this job was getting all of the wires and hoses etc out of the way just to get to the left valve cover.
Lets just say there were some bad words flying around the garage that day.![Icon No](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_no.gif)
One small nut way back behind the motor just had to be facing the firewall.

This is how it sounded a few days prior to parking it.
After opening it up you can see where the chain just started to eat into the engine block. Glad I parked it.

i just replaced my heads and had to take the cams off for a valve job, is there a guide anywhere around on the install i think im doing everything right following the all data instructions but im not sure, i have the motor in tdc and the shafts aligned with the middle timing flats aligned together, im ready to tighten the bolts on the left side but would rather double check than have the timing off, all help would be greatly appreciated
