Lookin' pretty scrungy, for 70-something K. Is that miles or kilometers? Either way, oof.

Huh, some cam lobe pattern wear. Apparently this is normal. Look at that nasty oil build up and varnish though...

Doesn't seem to be any major red flags in the cam caps/bearings

Pretty normal here too. Not really visible, but I can say the crosshatching looks good, and only a couple of minor instances of vertical scoring. Coolant passages look like ass, though. Reminding myself I need a 99 head gasket...

Learning how to read the micrometer, ignore my mistakes. I was able to re-arrange the intake side with no new shims, but ended up buying for the exhaust side.

Testing out if I can de-varnish. Exhaust side cam caps soaked for an hour in brake cleaner, with no real improvement. Soaked the intake ones in Simple Green for 10 minutes.

Nice and narrow purpose-built pliers. Just grip, twist, yank.

Old vs new valve seals.

I had a hard time visualizing valvetrain components/process before I started. Maybe the following will help someone else. The EuroXport valve tool presses down on the outside of the retainer (looks like a cymbal).

Tool installed using cam cap bolts. Don't need much if any torque. Slowly add pressure. Keepers are still in place.

Keepers loose. I've had to tap the top of the tool with a screwdriver/mallet to free them up.

Collect keepers with magnet. You might need to use the small flat screwdriver end to pry a bit.
