B Series camshaft replacement

[stevejgreen]

Is it possible to replace the cam on a B Series in a Roadster without removing the engine?
It looks possible if the nosecone, radiator and steering rack are removed and the engine then canted tail down.
I really dont want to take the whole engine and gearbox out again!

Won't the cam followers end up in the sump? Or do you have tappet chest covers that enable you to remove the followers prior to pulling the cam?

Do you want a NOS Kent 714 + new followers & retainer? If so let me know...

Thanks Jez will email you.
Alan: Followers can be lifted out once the two covers hidden behind the exhaust are removed.

Transaction with Jez completed via Paypal, so for others, cam is no longer available.
Lets hope I can tilt the engine enough to get it in, any thoughts anyone?
