CT head gasket gone

Hello,

I think you're all overdoing it a trifle

Get to a pressure washer, preferably with access to an air line as well.

Clean everything underneath you can get to.

Get a tin of WD 40 or similar and get spray onto all the rusty exhaust studs, heater cables, handbrake cable nuts.etc.

Here is a link to one of my videos:

Aptly titled : removing a CT engine.

You will need metric spanners and sockets, 9 10 13 15 17. Access to a torque wrench.

Then watch the next film:

This should help you on your way,

Well went out tonight to make a start, loosen a few bits and bobs, and a couple of hours later i had it on the floor!

Challenge with only 1 pair of hands but was most enjoyable.

Now on to the next video! Cheers Sarran, video was a great help, especially the axle stand under the gearbox, Wouldn't have thought of that and probably woulda broken something.

Hopefully will be a much cleaner job putting it back in once i sort the oil leaks and clean it up!

Cheers guys.
