head stuck
« on: July 12, 2012, 09:08:18 PM »
my head is stuck to the barrels on my f2... I've undone all the bolts and the barrels have lifted from the engine. I am baffled (unless there are 4 more bolts under the 4 rubber pucks?)
tried knocking it with a rubber mallet, soaking it in wd40, going to attack it with wooden wedges tmw but am really struggling

Any help/advice welcomed

Yes, there ARE 4 more crosshead screws (unless they've been replaced with bolts by a previous owner) under the rubber plugs/pucks. So don't try wedges etc until you have got them ou, they are quite deeply recessed, so make sure you have a long screwdriver, and make sure it is the correct fit for the heads :D
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

They have a 10mm hex with a screwdriver cross in the middle
