just keeping it at the top as i need to no asap

surely rocker cover is something like a 10mm nut
and head bolts are a torque bit. be carefull as they are f**king tight, cheap torque bits can be known to twist.
so if buying the tool, by the more expensive one.

[richy_b]

yeh, they can be very tight, just to ask why are you taking the head off??? remember use a big bar instead of a little one it will ease turning and decrease any chance of the bit snapping!!! and befor you put it back together check your manual because they might be stretch bolts and if so you will need new ones, if you need any more tech info msg me and ill look it up in my tech books at work

If you want the work done then bring it up to woking for myself and Modulator to do.
Why leave it to amateurs?

By the way all head bolts on vw's are stretch bolts.

have fitted a new head and that but now it wont fire over, think the timings out, also got gti cam in there will that cause probs???

[Veedubgt18v]

it probs is timing make sure all the relevant marks are lined up on the distributor, and all the pulleys! either that or you have forgotten to connect something back together again!  

[dubslug]

would if i could start the thing, the haynes book of lies says line the crank pulley up with the notch on the dizzy pulley?? is this right??
if so wots the mark on the case behind the crank pulley for??

[gti fly bye]

Match the the two notches to each other on the bottom end ie crank pully wit the altornators pully wheel, they both have a line on( this must be done with the cam belt off, at the top end there is a punch mark on the gti cam pully, this should line level with the top of the head, no 1 cyinder (nearest the cam pully) make sure the valves are both shut, ie the buket tapets are not been pushed down!
Its a lot easter if you get the manual, I'm just in the middle of doin the head on my gti 1800 and cant get the manifold!
Hope that helps?
