Hi all,

Does the engine need to be removed to remove the left hand side piece of tinware that is located on top of the engine?

I can remove the right side top and bottom OK but the left top side gets stuck!!!!

I need to remove it to tighten the head bolts. They were not tightend properly on a rebuild!

No with a little ingenuity and buggering it will come out,I have changed a couple of heads over the years in situ.
