will swapping heads work?

I was just pulling away so not fast at all.  Fitted the new belt today, it's not tensioned or anything yet, I ran out of time and the bolts holding on the water pump pulley were a right bugger to get off!  I ended up having to pull really hard on the belt to put tension on the pulleys so they wouldn't spin...trapped me fingers a couple of times!

So, I put a new belt on last weekend and when I had time, towed it down to a garage to sort the timing out.  Engine was fine, no damage      charged me £80 for 2 hours labour though...daylight robbery

£40 per hour is not bad, some garages and most of the main dealers around here are now charging £75 per hour.

The going rate for dealerships is about £40-£50 round here and back street garages like this one, £25-£30,  It wasn't just the price per hour that got me though...2 hours to set the timing?

If they were doing the job properly they will have taken off the cambelt again and made sure it was all correct from the word go
