was the top cover seal. changed to an elring and used some Hylomar M as sealant around the cam parts. no leakage now. good fit of the seal

the rocker cover gasket in this kit is to short and didn't seal well. ordered an elring one see if thats better. the other seals for the vtc valve and cam sensor are fine thou.

puma gas struts should have a bit of slower lift in the last bit to avoid rain water to enter the boot.

both lenghts should be good https://www.projectpuma.com/threads/crank-pulley-bolt-lenght-not-matching.34426/ also make sure your mechanic have the correct guide. https://www.projectpuma.com/threads/how-to-change-cambelt-on-1-7l-125hp-engine.25102/

did another cam belt change on the puma the other day. and tried something new on the crank pulley bolt. first stage tightening is not that hard with a holding tool for the aux belt pulley. then just make a scratch mark in the bolt and pulley. take out the impact gun. set it low. and let that...

I had fuel smell the other day. fuel line had a small crack in engine department. it had a hairline leak when fuel pump was running. check your fuel lines near the exhaust manifold. they get brittle and it's a bad place to get a broken line. I had to remove the spiral stuff on the tubes to...

just put a tarp over the engine and power wash it in place?

autodoc seem to have some front wings. expensive thou, and sills and some other parts.
