I have already had to lightly grind the indented bits in  the lefthand camshaft housing to remove the trumpets. (see previous reply)

tried that but the plate is far wider than the gap between the camshaft housings, even with tilting the unit. My omega is a 96 model and I have found certain differences between what is installed, what the book says and what vectrolys shows in his writeup of the subject.

Also where the oil feed pipes come from the oil filter on my motor they are installed with fork shaped metal washers with packing behind them and are held in with torx bolts not union nuts.

Ive had this car for 8 years with no trouble whatsoever, just routine servicing so I cant complain.

well finally got everything out and cleaned, the oil cooler nuts onto plate was a pig. New parts Monday and re-install everything. Just hope I remember where it all went!. Whats the betting I end up with more bolts than I started with?

Its not a difficult job.

Dont forget the oil change and coolant flush through.
