Hi, thanks for the advice. I am getting a workshop manual for the rover 75. Will have a read through that.

Yes it does all look easy when the engine is out of the car. Will be a laugh trying to squeeze round everything while its connected.

He has the timings marked before he removes the belt. I will not be able to do this as the belt came off the car. The garage already removed the head.

If i get a recon cylinder head will it have to be a 1.8 turbo head or can i get a 1.8 normal head and use my camshafts?.

Great video. Cheers for helping me out. No doubt I will be needing more help with this. I am pretty good with my hands and patient. When the cost of the car is at stake then I will try my best to get it going. Its far to good a car to bin. Was working grand till this happened.
