    thanks for that, i wonder if the mechanics would do a good job?

    the cam bolts come loose apparently, and then shear. there was a replacement upgrade of stronger bolts fitted with loc tite but i don't know if the csl had that as standard or if it was something that had to be done. Has anybody checked their cam bolts?

    I gave it a go before, to be honest if you have a friendly garage near you it's easier just to give it to them

    It was a headache making sure I'd checked, double checked, triple checked and that was just measuring the clearances never mind actually changing them
