i just received a catalog from an mg vendor.
they offer a minor engine kit that includes:
piston rings,camshaft, lifter set,rod bearing set,oil pump,timing chain a tensioner, gaskets. in the catalog they state "if you are going to pull the head and the oil pan to change the cam it only makes sense that you put in new piston rings, rod bearings,and an oil pump".
did i miss something here?
since when did you have to remove the oil pan to change the cam?
it also states all of the above can be done with the engine left in the car(???).
i'm kinda confused. removing the distributor and
drive dog needs to be done to replace the cam,
not to mention the timing cover, sprockets, ect...
but not the oil pan. right?
