EPnick22 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 okay so sorry for blocking up the threads with all my questions, but looking at where the head bolts are, it looks like i can just unbolt the head and lift the whole thing out with the cams still in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 No you can't, you need to remove the cams mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 ah okay, why cant it be taken out in one then? out of curiosity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The headbolts are under the cams mate. You'll need an M9 spline tool as well. be careful as they do round off very easily! If you do round 1 off get a M10 spline tool and knock/hammer that in the bolt head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I used an M12 spline tool? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple j Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 dont forget to lock the cam with a little bolt before u take them out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Must have been seriously rounded off or you managed to squeeze it in there lol, its deffo an M9. Standard bolts anyway. Edited July 9, 2013 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hmm this is a strange one, it was an M12 bought for the sole purpose of head bolts. They where Toyota OEM ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Thats strange. You can use a Hex key, 8mm I believe so bit strange as to why yours where like 2-3 sizes larger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Mine were m12 on old engineOne engine was m9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
