I'd have to bring my wife to, oh dear this starting to look very complicated! How about we just swap engines? Ha ha.

lol - So in all seriousness then, if I took the car to someone who knew what they were doing, how long would it take them to swap the cam over and get the timing right?  If it's not too massive I'll probably get it done in the next couple of weeks mate.

Bit of a hot in the dark but would say a couple of hours labour as putting the standard cam in and timing it in shouldn't be too hard.

How much you gonna be wanting for the old set up? Not sure I'm going to have any money till the end of Jan.

£50 plus postage? (or of course you can come and get it if you want?)

I don't mind holding it till you've got the money mate.

You got yourself a deal mate! Let me know when it's off and I'll let you know when I have the cash.
