Having looked at all the threads on removing the cylinder head, there seems to be different opinions on whether to leave the exhaust manifold on or off.The manual in FAQ says leave it on and use an engine hoist to get it out. Is an engine hoist a necessity or can it be manhandled out. My concern is catching the valves on removal or more importantly when putting it back. ________________________________________ chris |

must remove ex manifold in the car, the head will not come out without a massive struggle with the ex manifold left on, if you do attempt leaving it on you will have to undo loads more and it is going to have to be removed on the bench anyway |

If it has to come out in the car - How on earth do you get to the nuts holding it on. The manual says hoist the lot out after lowering the engine a bit.________________________________________ chris |

Its a f*cker to get to the bolts some can be got from under the car the others from the top you kind of need to kneel on the engine if that makes sense ? |

Rachet ring spanner from the top will remove all exhaust mani bolts and the head will come off, trust me i've just done it on my drive its not that difficult at all!, Just make sure you remove the exhaust cam cover and heat shield, it makes access easier! ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

Sorry to drag up an old thread. Will be taking the head off mine next weekend. It says in the Haynes book of lies to be very careful removing the head due to the wet liners.Is there anything else like this I need to be wary of? Good tips of getting the exhaust manifold off btw, makes this place massively useful! |

wet liners is the alloy block, you've been reading the wrong section the main point you have to be very careful of is not knocking any of the valves on the block as you lift off the head, it weighs about 30 kilos so best to have some assistance. have some card and a clean space to put the head down on its side, not on its face. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
