Removing throttle bodies and the cylinder head
Fuel rail off
Throttle bodies off
Fark...
Not looking good in there...
Camshafts out
Head off. Its not perfect but its nowhere near as bad as I thought it might be
The gasket rusted but it was still sealing.
Ill clean all that off
A couple of the head bolts suffered a bit, but they came out ok
Next job
Ive left the shims and buckets in place at the moment but Ill take them all out later
I decided to give up on the exhaust studs and change tack as I was going to shear one of the remaining studs off.
So instead I took the head off with the studs in place and Ill store all the shims, buckets, valves and springs in numbered pots.
Once the head is bare Ill take it to a local workshop shop to get the studs out.
