I read everything I could find about replacing the upper control arms and watched the Bentley video. One guy said that he just uses a sawsall to cut the control arms then after the whole strut (or whatever it's called) assembly is out, then you have easier access to work on the pinch bolt...

So, after having to replace our cam timing cover I was curious to see what made them tick. The only thing inside the cover is the "sealing ring tower" that fits inside the cam adjuster. The sealing rings were broken and the grooves they sit in were VERY worn. you can see from the pics that...
