    The dreaded head gasket

    Just to be sure can you confirm the steps for removing the head ? - Move the engine to Top Dead Center - Lock the 2 cogs on the head - Remove the timing belt - Turn the crankshaft wheel 60° right to put the pistons in safe position - Then I can unbolt the head Thanks

    Is this correct ?

    Ok ok But when the guy in the video says "when it heats up (the VCU) it starts to grip". This is rubbish, it grips all the time and 'slips', that's how it doesn't break the transfer box. It grips more when its cold and should grip less when it heats up as the silicone would be more fluid, no ?
