could have, but not exactly in no rush. plus, head bols are torx...so was pretty much fucked. i bought home like a grands worth of snap on tools, and the only thing i needed, i didnt bring, typical!!

rocker cover and cam cover are the same thing. i guess you meant cambelt cover?

you could have cut the cambelt and undone the crank pulley later if you wanted to get the head off today.

Removed the rocker cover, cam cover and all pipe work etc that is connected 2 it.

looked at the crank pully and found out i needed torx sockets, which i stupidly left at work.

so looks like the rebuild will have 2 continue 2morrow!! nevermind
