gtsm,

Yep the CAS controls engine timing, which will affect engine idle, and performance if not done properly.

just mark the CAS with a texta or something before you take the bolts off.

When you remove the cam cover there are a couple of things to make note of.

1. The rubber washers under each of the bolts holding the cam cover on will only tolerate 3 or 4 times being removed then you need to replace them as they will leak oil.

2. Make sure when you replace the cover that the rubber gasket is in place, in tact and you should use a bit of suitable goop to help seal it.

3. Removing the CAS is easy just undo the 3 bolts that hold the CAS bracket on, that way you will not change the settings, but at the end of the day its the position of the cam that is important.
