Once all the gears, idler gears, bushes were lubricated I installed them and double checked the torque values. I then installed the two timing chain guides - still in very good condition. The timing chain followed with the single black link on the timing mark on the lower sprocket - I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of this. I then pulled the chain up as tightly as possible and cable tied them to the two guides at the top for when I fit the cam shafts I do no lose my timing.
I then fit the timing gear cover, again with the correct amount of sealant applied. I also fitted a new front crank seal, again MUCH easier doing it with the timing cover and engine out of the car.

Once the cover was fitted I had to fit the front main pulley. The spec says 323Nm on the bolt... Unfortunately my (borrowed) torque wrench only goes to 200Nm, so I did a quick sum for mow much weight I need to put on a 300mm power bar to get the same torque.
323 Nm = 32.93kg at 1000mm
Therefore = it is 109.76kg at the 300mm center of Gedore power bar handle.
(The power bar is 3.333 times shorter than 1000mm, thus you need 3.333 times the mass to do the same work on the shoter power bar)
I weigh 108kg.
Problem solved, i locked the rear crank output with some bolts and a crow bar and simply put all my weight on the power bar a couple of times.

All for now. I will post some more pictures tomorrow.
