VVC 160 Engine acquired intention to strip down, rebuild as replacement in my S1

 

Just about to remove Cylinder Head is it best practice to lock crankshaft prior to removing Head Bolts

 

Cant lock using flywheel as there is not one attached to engine

No need just to remove head bolts. Make sure its at 90 Degrees before top dead centre before you start. I hope the front crank pulley is loose? Could be fun undoing it without a means to lock the crank?

If it were mine i would strip the lot. Get the stand proud to 4 thou ( local machining company ). Fit Westwood liners ( Droitwich ) new rings and away you go  :)

 

Let me know if you need a hand or information.
