Ok. For sure I'm doing it. Any tips on removing the cam sprocket bolts? I got 1 off fine but the other, while I was trying to loosen it with the timing belt on, slipped over the teeth of the belt a few times. How can I hold the cam sprocket while turning the bolt?

Silly question... Do the allen key bolts that hold the top cover on the camshaft cover have to be removed as well? Maybe that's why I can't remove the full cover... :oops:

Argh! Once I took the camshaft cover off I realized that there are 4 bolts INSIDE the camshaft cover. Now that those are removed it was easy to pull off the camshaft cover. Now I just have to find the 1 washer that slipped off the bolt when I took out the inner bolts!
