Turbo Engine #5

Removed the camshaft journal holder bolts, the cam chain guide and the oil pipe joining the covers. Next removed the cam journal covers and the cams.

The head was clamped down tightly with 12mm high tensile studs with hex drive heads. I undid these with a  breaker bar and cracked each bolt quarter of a turn from the centre out on a diagonal basis. Then removed the bolts and washers, I then removed the head to reveal the pistons.

When looking at the pistons, they certainly look brand new and have never run. Guess that Damian was right about the dirt in the bores, there was even a couple of dead insects in there with the cigarette ash!!
