Danny Salling 0 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I would realy apreciate a guide for head removal without having to take the hole engine and gearbox out. I gonna replace my headgasket, valvestemseals, hydrolic valvelifters(dont know if its called "lifters" really, its just a direct translation from Danish), cams.If its posible i would like to replace the pistonrod bearings and piston rings now that i have the head off, but is it at all posible to do all theese things with just a head removal? I now that it is on the Escort RS turbo ;-) Link to post Share on other sites

Danny Salling 0 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have heard that there is a trick to keep the chains "up", but thats only if you change the cams and such. The head gasket dont need to replaced but i just thought that it might be a good idea when i have plans of replacing the other bits.That guide to keep the chains "up", is there someone who has a link? I only read about it for a couple of years back, so i dont have a link to where i read it myself. It would be really freat if the link includes pics.Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites
