gonna drop it soon, might spray alloys black for time being too!

but i need to do a few service things first, runs a bit rough think its gunky oil in the breathers. gonna give it a good coolant flush aswell. also anyone got a guide to change the cambelt on an 8v? look simple but would like to make sure before i start pulling the engine apart!
