Theres an st sump on ebay at the moment which clearly shows the insides if thats any help to ya.
theres a dirty great engine mount in the way of the timing belt and it attaches with some big bolts into the head casting, so that deffo needs to come off
what i was more alarmed baout is that you've got to take th timeing cover off to change the aux belts, not something i'd like to want to do in a hurry
shall check ebay forwith
