  20. Yep in fact already have the belts in hand, thanks to @Exige for prompt delivery! Have the mic and 'guitar tuning' software which strangely seems to work.. despite me shaking my head in disbelief.. I cant get on and do the job just yet as my plug remover isnt the required 500mm long! ;)

    Ive read here that TDC is needed on the compression stroke, but I cannot really think of the reason why? Can anyone elaborate please?

    Thanks
