Hi

Is it possible to get at any of the cylnder heads on the car with the engine in situ? When I say get to I mean get off, and engine in situ I mean dropped down but still attached to the gearbox. More specifically I am interested in one closest to the rear bumper

Many thanks... Berni

 

No, it needs to come out to get the cam towers off.

Why just one head?

Hi

I was going to have a look at the general condition of things, but if it's not possible then I will have the engine out later in the summer.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Any time Berni,

What do you suspect the issue to be? I’m sure there is a much more conclusive and less invasive way to diagnose this with out an actual tear down/visual inspection.

If it is just a condition inspection,
check the play in your exhaust valve guides through the lower valve covers.
leak down & compression tests..

No sense in cutting the heart out to check pulse.
