Thread: Head removal

Hi. Im new to the forum but been looking and dreaming about land-rovers all my life.

I'm helping a mate remove his 4.6l engine from his 95HSE and wanted to know if there is a sequence to removing the heads from the block?

Thanks

So if you are looking at the left hand head side on, start with the bottom aft bolt, then top forward bolt, then lower forward, then aft upper, repeat this pattern on remaining bolts.
Best get your selves a manual.

We thought that but wasn't to sure and i was going to buy the manual but i forgot about it. Luckily i'm a member on here

VPW )vic perf w/house) will be your closest. Just follow the instructins and they NEED to be pre stretched before finishing.

Thanks for the information. I'll defiantly do that.
