What's happening in your garage this weekend ?

The offside one is a pain - you might need to get the allen key onto the rear studs and remove them to get enough clearance because of the lumps on the bulkhead.
I think I inserted mine after putting the head in place.
Also I might have moved the engine forward a bit to get more clearance.
You have to be especially careful to get easy clearance because if you let the head face drop back onto the studs it will scratch it very easily.

If you have ARP head studs then you are in a whole different world of pain.
Yeh, figured it wouldn't be easy 
They are Arp studs by the way. I've taken the N/S head off before, which was easy, but not the O/S. Got a bit sidetracked with decorating now, but I was wondering if just removing the studs whilst the head is still on (provided there is clearance to get the studs out of course) would be feasible.

Yes if they will budge! Once the nuts are off try extracting the studs with a hex key.
I suppose if they won't budge with the hex key you could try some half-nuts done up against each other tight but you'll have to get unf ones as it's a fine thread.
The studs have plain ends, no hex, but they should only be hand tight anyway. Too cold in the garage at the moment to work anyway Adam.I suppose if they won't budge with the hex key you could try some half-nuts done up against each other tight but you'll have to get unf ones as it's a fine thread.

for our little 
trip , I am really looking forward to, got a few things I would like to get done to T350 before we go Been busy on the Gredge with the jobs to do list:
Fitted new front brake vented rotors which I had grooved along with Ferrodo pads with the AP 4 pots - massive improvement on the cheaper pads
New front wheel bearings and track rod ends and a proper Geo set up.
New Iridium plugs - dizzy cap - rotor arm
Back to the paint shop to touch up the spray job after settling period with colour coded OZ's - well pleased .....
Now just the interior in deep red with grey trim and we are done
Here is how she looks now .....
