Timing Cover Removal

Removed the water pump, crank pulley and timing cover, to allow the timing belt to be changed. Undoing the crank bolt was the hardest job. This required locking the flywheel (piece of 4mm angle iron through the starter motor hole), and the long pole from the trolley jack for leverage.

Various pulleys, belts, etc. Removed from front of engine:

The water pump. This is in reasonable condition, so should just require a clean up and remove old gasket.

Timing Cover Removed:

Finally the Timing gears and belt.

And the thermostat + housing has been removed
