Recently had the cambelt and clutch replaced ($$!!) and now it's started making a loud knocking noise. From my investigations, it seems the hydraulic lifters are stuffed. Because we are as broke as a broke thing at the moment, I'd like to have a go doing this myself. I am reasonably mechanically proficient. Does anyone have a repair manual detailing how to do this?? Or has anyone done it and can write instructions for me to do it this weekend? Thanks in advance. Cheers,

Yull see once yu remove the cam cover. There is a test to check them , but if they have started to make noise its best to replace them all. To remove them , after the cam cover is taken off there is 2 shafts that need to be unbolted , they hold the intake and exhaust set of rocker arms. Wish i currentlly had a pic but i do not. But its pretty self explanitory once the cam cover is removed
