Thanks for letting us know Kev. I'm rather pleased to be reminded that this possibility had crossed my mind four years ago!

This shows how important it is to use the special service tools. Whoever was there before Andy must have messed it up. I find it hard to believe that the engine was incorrectly built at the factory. Had Andy used the service tools the error would have been discovered at the belt change. So the moral is: don't copy what you find, do the job once and do it properly!
