ime trying to remove 1 head to inspect cylinder with 0 compression can any1 tell me doz cam pulleys need to come of and crank pulley to release belt? and cams av to be took out to get to head bolts? and what tool and size is head bolts? as u can probly tell i shouldnt even be trying to do this but needs must lol

 

You need to release the tensioner to get camblet off, just unbolt it. you do need to remove the cam pulleys to get the cams out to allow access to the head bolts(be careful when you remove bottom cam as the followrs will drop out), head bolts are 14mm (12 point) which side are you removing? remember if its the driver side to disconeect the turbo oil feed and brackets, a bit fiddly! good luck.

 

it is the drivers side ive got belt of now but havin problems takein cam pulleys of as they r spinnin now think i done this wrong way rnd lol are cam pulley bolts normal thread of opposite thanks?

 

i did it when i was stripping an engine down, so unless the engne is out of the car this may not work, but an adjustable spanner on the cam itself (not a mating face obviously) will alloy you to remove the cam pulley, may not have enough room if the engine is still in

 

ive got engine out and adjustable on cam ive put allen key in bolt on cam pulley but will not move is it a left handed thread? or normal thread? ime stuck!!!!!!

 

mine were not allen key there with either 12mmor 14 mm i cant remember now, std thread iirc

 

Normal thread on the cam bolts - righty tighty ~ lefty loosey.
They are done up tight so a normal allen key wont shift it - 3 foot length of pipe on the allen key and a 29mm spanner on the flats of the camshaft to hold it.

thanks for help ile go and give it ago!!!

 

the cam pulley bolts will probably have loctite on them so they will be tight!
good luck mate there a doddle.
