	What you need to do is get a wrench on the center bolt for the lower pully and crank the engine round on that. Or not worr about it. I didn't do it to my engine when I took the head off because I fogot :lol: :o
Scotty C	posted on 13th Jul 06 at 12:44
	Good thinking. Still can't get the timing in the right place tho :lol:

	Or go buy a set of female Torx bits. They cost about £20 a set for some decent ones though...

	Then wait for your step dad mechanic to come home with his tools and leave him to do it.

	Havent got a bastard socket or whatever they are for the headbolts :mad: I cant turn the engine over so the timing marks are in the right place eaither :( [Edited on 13-07-2006 by Monster]

	quote: Originally posted by ed Undo the tensioner, slip the belt off. Undo all the pipes and stuff then unbolt the head. It will probably need some persuasion to get it off though. Sounds easy-ish Any idea on why it has NO compression Ed? Thanks for your help :)

	quote: Originally posted by ed What you going to do with the head once it's off? It just unbolts though... Wait until my step-dad gets home He was a machanic for 30years, so he can check around the head for damage. Just unblots? what about cam-belt etc?

	Oh, there is no compression in cylinder's 2,3 & 4, and only a little in no. 1. The timing is spot on, so it hasent bounced any valves. So if anyone could shed some light is what the fook is going on id appeciate it :)
Scotty C	posted on 12th Jul 06 at 23:19
	How easy is it? I have abit of experience with engines, although I've never took a head off. I've already removed the inlet and rocker cover.. Need's to come off tomorrow to check the damage, wondering if I could manage or should I leave it for the big boys? X16XE BTW.. thanks :) [Edited on 12-07-2006 by Monster]
