Tips on AJP engine removal

[ntvrman]

Hi,
I need to do a job on bank A cylinder head, so thought it would be best to take the engine out to do it properly. But I’ve limited knowledge on this engine, so would like some guidance on how to get it out. I have a copy of what is called a workshop manual so once it’s out I can follow that to do the work, but I’ve never worked on a more cramped engine bay. So any help would be great fully received.

I have oil in the air intake , so I’m assuming that the head gasket needs replacing, whilst this is being done was going to have the head checked. Also the subframe needs cleaning, might as well do it all properly. There are of course a number of other jobs that need doing to the car, like front screen seal needs redoing, paint work needs tiding.

Thanks everyone, I check the breather first although, most of the systems fuel and cooling are on a poor state, so will need new hoses anyway. I have come across one issue already, there’s a temperature sensor that appears to have welded itself into one of the pipes I couldnt get it out with heat and in the end it broke the rigid wire connected to it, will need to solder or weld it back together.

Hi,

Here’s a coupe of photos of the wire and it’s connecting point. How does one get it out?


Thanks for your comments.

Hi, guys,
I’ve stripped the Aircon compressor and belt off, I’ve found that the tensioner is very noisy, does anyone know a part number for it as I think it needs to be replaced.
Any help is really appreciated.
