    While I was at it I thought I better check the bottom timing chain sprocket.
    Lucky I did as it had a major crack which caused it to jump and shear off the key.
    Just got to spend a bit of time now trying to figure out a way to get the sheared off key out of the shaft.

    You can usually drive them out with a small hammer and a centre punch Dickie.

    How was that thing still running ??? :whistle:

    Good tip and it worked, better check the brakes while I’m working on her.
