HI Peeps
Has anyone managed to take the cylinder heads off with the engine in situ?
I have the head unbolted and the turbo disconnected from the exhaust and the air hoses.
I am trying to lift the head off together with the manifold and turbo in one piece. The head slides up an inch or so but then refuses to budge further- presumably there is still a connection somewhere?
If it is not possible has anyone taken the engine out from above using an engine hoist?
Many thanks
Ian
