if you can wait roughly 40 mins I'll have digi camera in garage to photo my abf, which has not had cams messed with

the round bits the cam sits on, bro said its full of oil so the spring bit isnt moving. cant get 2 of them to move/out
oh the tappets, yeah takes a bit of force to compress the valve springs. another thing, I'd spin the bottom end over a bit to drop piston #1 and 4, make sure theres no risk of valve contact!
ah ok, would have to work hard to get piston contact then those valve springs are under a lot of tension, this is why you need to gradually tighten the cam caps in a certain sequence to gradually compress the springs, no way you're gonna do it 'by hand'
