Cheers for the tips bonzo. I managed to get it out using a flat headed screwdriver and the camshaft came out with no issues, its now stored in a carboard box with my crankshaft and pistons. The only jobs i've got to do now are:

Remove the crankshaft pulley so i can remove the oil seal
Remove the valves (im planning on buying a g-clamp and modifying it to be used as a valve removal tool)

Then once all of that is done i can start cleaning up all of the parts and then wait until i have the funds to buy the following parts:

Piston rings
Headgasket set
Big end bearings (i dont think ill be buying main bearings at the moment as flyerncle said they looked fine, where as the big end bearings are through to the copper)
Get the head skimmed
Paint the block
Oil filter
Spark plugs
Thermostat

Im just trying to find the best price for the big end bearings now, any ideas? I've tried ebay but there dont seem to be many, enginestuff.co.uk seems to be the cheaspest, but i recon i might be able to find a better price.
