Chris and KlausC,

Thanks!

I will paint the sprockets, and yes, I do have a cam locking tool as I've done this before on my 98' V70, but never on a CVVT head before so this will be somewhat of a new twist to an old song.

I have found a series of 5 video's online that walk you through the whole process on what to do.

I've watched all of them and for the most part it is very straight forward.

A question I have is since everything is all out of time at the moment, will I cause any more harm to the head if when I start this process, if I manually rotate the cams and crank to there correct position before removing the head? That way I know I'm starting from a known good position?

Thanks in advance,

Matt
