:lol: Good to hear you're having my old engine Wiltshire 75, means it goes to a genuine enthusiast and you're close enough to sabotage me had I lied about it's history. (yes members I did say we are fairly cerain the Head gasket has failed) Though it drove normally for local mileage right up until its removal at Xmas. Incidently, when you collect it don't pay unless you are totally happy with the engine, having asked Andy its history; there's well over the £100. worth of spares there for sure. Any problems you now have my home number and good luck sir. Mike.

Rover 75 timing belt
Just for the record, the cam shafts are NOT inter changeable, the inlet camshaft cannot be used for the exhaust camshaft! the lobes are different, if the end of the camshaft has broken the more likely the woodruft key on the pulley has perished or the timing belt has stretched, the best way round this is the replace the camshaft, pulley and the woodruft key and don't forget to replace the pulley bolts fitting them with thread locking chemical ! i've done three of these engines and they are a total nightmare! normally charge about £700. Or buy a second hand engine!

Maybe an old thread but you can swap the exhaust camshafts from the front bank to the rear bank and vice versa which means the damaged end would be in the cap
