Replacing head gasket

[Ben94]

I'm replacing my head gasket on my 1.4 8v and I started stripping it down, alternator, inlet and exhuast manifolds, throttle body, fuel injectors etc is all off! Next job is the cam belt, difficult or easy job? Also what other parts to remove are there before I can reach the cylinder head? Cheers

Piss easy on an 8V. Remove cambelt, rocker cover and undo the headbolts. Take off head.

Ok cheers mate, not hard then lol

Almost forgot: you'll need to support the engine from below and remove the upper engine mount to gain access to the cambelt.

Ok thought that was going to be the case! Thanks again

And TDC It before removal. Makes it easier for refitting.
