I FINNALY GOT ME ENGINE OUT TODAY AND STRUGGLED LIKE F**K AS I HAD TO DO IT ON MY OWN.

IVE GOT THE CAMS OFF ETC. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SOCKET TO USE FOR THE STAR SHAPED HEAD BOLTS AND WHAT TOOL/METHOD YOU USE TO GET THE CAPS OFF THE TOP OF THE VALVE STEM AS I WANT TO TAKE THE HEADS OFF TOMOROW,

THANKS.

its a 14mm socket, not a hexigon 1 but a 12 spline one (if that makes sense to ya)

undo in this order.

3 1 6
5 2 4

good luck, hope you get it sorted

 

NICE ONE MATE THANKS ALOT, IS THIS JUST SO THAT IT LOOSENS OFF EVENLY??

ALSO CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT WITH SOME GUIDANCE/ADVICE ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THE VALVES PLEASE

 

yes its so it loosens evenly. as for the valves, im not sure i never touched mine as it had a topend rebuild late 2005. the buckets lift off and there is a little magnet the size of a watch battery sat on top of the valve spring. thats as far as i got
