^ hehehe ^
So Im not getting the obvious squealing and squeezing noise that comes with a loose belt but it does give a "...kkkkkkkkkkkkkk..." sort of noise if you know what I mean? Did I over tighten something along the way?

Well, Day 2 and pretty much if I didn't unscrew it, undo it, get it off or make it fit then I just went and did something else on the car then came back to it. Worked a treat coz I pretty much got to do most of what I wanted to without pulling my teeth out.
With a really useful link from Django I managed to pry all the rocker arms up and get all the lifters out without too much drama. I just had to crank it a bit each time I came to a tight rocker arm because the cam was in the way. That explained that tightness from yesterday. Just got one lifter that popped out and got conveniently stuck deep in the head that I need a magnet and long nosed pliers to get out. I thought the lifters in there were the original 4g93 ones with the really small top hole but they were the oversized ones, but man did they NOT budge one bit when I tried to compress them! All of them were tight az and are in need of a good clean or I'll just biff them. Got my new lifters (from Meeks) and soaked them in a bath of oil to be ready for tomorrows bleeding and installation.
After a trip to the local, I got a breaker bar and some other goodies and that took care of those stubborn calliper bolts. I had trouble getting the rotor off but nothing the hammer couldn't solve.
Sadly while I was on a roll I ran out of time, but I'm pretty happy with the progress I'm making. Like I said, I'm a novice when it comes to this stuff but its cool working on it. Still waiting on the TD05
