you would need to lock the flywheel at TDC and release the tension on the
belt and I thought the rollers for this are behind the centre cover which
only comes off with the pully out of the way, ok the belt isn't quite off
but nearly.So what is the minimum you need to do with the belt, just
release the tension on it? I can see the adusting bolt, it isn't behind a
cover.

coming from the front of the passenger side but I cant tell if its from the
cam tower gasket or the head gasket - It's running along the exhaust from
the manifold and obviously smelling of burning oil - it gets worse when
stopping on an incline say on a slip road. I thought it may be the cam
covers at the end of the cam towers near the firewall but they seem dry.
Is it an engine out job to fettle a cam cover gasket? I don't suppose
anyone recommends an instant fix pour it in and voila type remedy? (nope
didn't think so!!!)
