Post Sun Jul 17, 2011 9:34 pm

I'm taking the cylinder head off the M52 to see if the gasket has gone or there's a crack somewhere

so....does anyone know where i can get the locking tool for the cam's?

or

does anyone want to hire their's out

or

does anyone have any GOOD pictures/dimensions of them so I can knock some up on a lathe?

You can always do it the dafs way... two spanners and a pair of molegrips :lol:

I found this on the internets ages ago and saved it on my laptop

(it said for m42/m50 iirc, cant see it being different for m52)
