So engine out and stripped down the engine to the point of taking out the camshafts. Did my homework...I thought....where or whatever I read it always said ...do not attempt this with out the proper tools. So bought the camshaft tool plus the crows foot spanner 46mm if memory serves me correct. ...omg !!! Two of us could not move these nuts !! We ended up deforming the cam socket socket !!!! Admittedly it was basically a pre formed metal tube with a bar on the end of it! So went and spent more and bought what I thought was what I should of got in the first place ! This was the same tool, but a cast socket tool. This time another friend to help , no deforming ! But constantly slipping with the crows foot socket . Even tried clamping one of the socket bars to the nut and then tried clamping to the engine case and chain cover case . Still no movement!! So got another mate to come round and help. I got a big one this time ! With him on one end and me and other friend on the other bar, lifting us off the floor !!! Ending up with the crows foot slipping off again ! But a big cracking noise which was not the nut , but cracked the chain casing instead !!

So managed to source another casing and also the king of all cam nut tools ! A socket within another socket, small fortune! But at this point I would of sold the house! Wife and kids to sort this out !!
So with the king of sockets , 3 friends , 2 x 2m poles and a couple of sprained muscles or tendons in my arms !! (Really I thought I was going to break something!! )
Finally! Finally! Loose nuts and the most expensive nuts I’ve ever removed!

So long story short!! If you are ever worried about cam nuts coming loose ? I can recommend a engine builder! Who knows a thing or two!!
And if in doubt? Just buy the best and most expensive tools you can not afford! It will be cheaper in the long run!
I feel like a weight is lifted now I’ve shared that!
Best regards Mark.
P.s . If u ever need one, don’t buy it , I can put it in the post .
