Speaking from bitter experience here, got a Seat Leon BKD engine, did a cambelt on it couple of months ago, tensioner stud let go, so the inevitable damage, but it gets worse,the racing engineering firm that I use, Scholar race engineering in Suffolk dealt with the damage,then rang me up to say the engineer that did the work had fitted an o ring on the wrong rocker shaft, so I would have to strip the head down and switch the o ring to the other rocker shaft, fair enough, we all make mistakes.This same place replaced 14 of the 16 rockers,for some reason the engineer did not spot the remaining two rocker arms were off vertical by about 5 degrees, so could not finish job off this weekend. So, so far out of pocket to the tune of £1200 quid on repairs and parts alone, still got a dead car outside, customer has my own car for as long as this sorry episode takes to conclude,this could happen to any of you here,be careful !!
