Further to my post regarding engine blow up on M6 (ran with no water until stopped).

There is No compression at all on any cylinder, my question is can the heads be removed with the engine in situ or does the engine have to be removed?

If it can be done in situ are there any instructions?

Also if needed do you know of any good cylinder heads at a good price?

Thanks......................

So you've done a full compression test on all cylinders ?? weird to have Zero on em all see.

Yes it can be done with engine in, just though and is quite tricky, will find the link for yer once i remember :)

Thanks for the links, pity it does not show how to disassemble it but it does show it can be done.

Makes me wonder how long it would take to take the head off in situ vs taking the engine out? Does anyone know of any times for these jobs?

Thanks........

just take the engine out.by the time you remove the intake manifold and cam covers the engine would be out :wack:

 

besides its almost impossible trying to remove the manifold in situ,infact i bet you wouldnt

How long does it take to remove it? I gather as it is an auto the box also has to be removed separately?

Interesting link, one day i will be clever enough to try something like that myself!

i did it, but it was ferkin hard work and took a lot longer than it would have done to whip the engine out.

 

and then once it was all in bits i decided to have the lot out anyway :headvswal :headvswal

engine out next time though eh :wack: :)

I am assuming I will be lucky to get away with heads that are still any good. Anyone know who is selling good heads?

i have some - there are dibs on them, but your welcome to join the queue!
