Oops! Looks like I'll be shortly getting a BX
As some of you may know/remember, I've been offering guidance/help/assistance to an owner who has now - due to various circumstances coinciding - decided to give up on his BX. Formalities need to be completed, but it looks like I'm know the owner of this...

And a dod of JB weld to hold the cam cap together. 
Shouldn't be too much trouble doing a top-end swap when I get a chance. Was too good an offer to pass up.

Had exactly the same on a Xantia TD when the cambelt snapped. Should be a nice easy fix!

Vauxhall/ Opel Astra, and Cavalier/ Ascona from the early 1980's are also well known for doing this...electrokid wrote:Looks more like a Ford camshaft

The Mrs would agree with that.
I've just got to finish tinkering with the welder then I can get back to fixing the 'oles in the Pug. (Yep, still not finished and looking much the same as the last pic). It's a bit inconvient that the clocks go back tonight. I need some floodlights...
