JTStarlet92 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Right, need some urgent help! Need to swap heads on my engines to get the car back running but dunno where to start.. Do I take the cams out to take the headbolts off? What do I use to take the headbolts off? Help much appreciated Quote
mikey4410 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 u have to take out the cams to undo the head matey !! Quote
daniel_g Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 You need a multispline socket set to undo the headbolts man, think its a M10 but cant remember off hand. And a big fuck-off breaker bar, because theyre tight haha. Quote

daniel_g Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Haha ehh.. headbolts are normally pretty solid. Try undoing them on a fuckin dodge nitro with your pinky then man haha. HG on one of them the day, fun an games. Quote
Chris Green Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Its a M12 spline tool dude, you can pick them up off eBay for around £10. You shouldn't need to take the cams out, it think - don't hold me to it though. Edited June 6, 2013 by chrisgreen1993 Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Defo need to take the cams out mate lol lol no no,leave em in JT............... Quote
morgey Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Ahh i forgot toyota used silly head bolts on 4e's 4ages use standard 12 hex bolts so normal sockets work no need for silly tools hahaYeah belt off, head bolts out in the correct sequence! And only 1/4 turns at a time or you can warp your head! Inlet and exhaust mani's off. Alternator brackets as well? Cant remember 100% as i haven't had a 4e in 6 years haha Edited June 6, 2013 by morgey Quote
JTStarlet92 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Paul, you're fucking away wae it! Who even is that? Haha! Right, I'll first need to find the tool to do it then think about taking the cams out! Cheers lads, you're all helpful as ever! I'm really starting to hate this car hahaha! Quote

JTStarlet92 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Hahaha mere then actually pretty sure I know that guy.. Quote
JTStarlet92 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Naw:( Tries to sniff my arse a lot though? Quote
Ryan-11 Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Ive got a headbolt tool if u want a shot? its not as easy as just taking the cams out, u need to remember and put the service bolt in and u need to take the cam caps off in the correct order Quote
AdamB Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Its an M9 spline bit before you go getting the wrong one mate, if you round one off use an M10 spline bit. Quote
