I'm getting a pretty loud knocking noise from the engine of my Jetta. I'd like to replace the camshaft, lifters, and rocker arms because they appear to be damaged. The problem for me is that the procedure for timing belt removal and installation looks difficult. I work as an apprentice at a dealership so I'm pretty much a novice. Do you guys think this job can be tackled by somebody of my skill level? And if it's too difficult, is there anyway for me to just replace the camshaft, rocker arms, and lifters without messing with the timing belt?
Any help is appreciated.
