Removing head of f4r

[danh90]

Right I'm going to get a head sent off to hopefully be fitted to my ph1 engine that's just gone..

Basically I want to know how to remove the head is it simply remove bolts.. I have the whole engine out the car,

any hell appreciated

you have to remove the pulleys from the cams first (that's the proper way) to get the rocker cover off

Any special tools needed?

 

[Fred@BTM]

doing it by hand - pulley locking tool

airgun/buzzgun - go nuts

This is where I'm at

All bolts undone on cam cover do I need to give it a little tap also what are them 2 pins on the front do then need tapping out

You need to remove the pulleys...

 

[danh90]

Right guessing that's what buzz gun is needed for as wont get it with ratchet

 

[Dan@SJM]

Yes.

Thick question alert but I'm genuinely interested as to why you have to remove the pulleys to take the cam cover off? Sorry of its a really daft question lol

What about the pulley with the gold cap how do you go about undoing that surely that can only be done with a special tool?

Large sump plug socket , or use the head of a bolt with a couple of nuts on it to undo that. It's easier to then lock the pulleys to undo them, but a buzz gun will shock them off.

The cover goes under the lip of the pulley so won't lift off with the pulley there.

Big hex bit to remove that.
