Head Gasket Change

Hi everyone,

From my previous thread, can someone advise if I have to take off the air con condensor and power steering pump to take off the valley gasket or can I leave them on?

I am hoping to get the heads off on Saturday but I don't particularly want to mess too much with the air con if necessary.

I have been reading Gavs threads and wrxfifer threads but couldn't work out if this was needed.

Many thanks

Matt

Just unbolt them both and put them to one side with out disturbing the pipes i change an engine this way so i know it is possible

Thanks Andy, it is much appreciated.

Bastid Head bolts two out of the eight have rounded bloomin typical. Will now have to get a welder now to get the last two out.

Tried smaller sockets and bolt remover and they won't do it.

Flamin torque on them is unbelievable!!
