Guest Mk4 Kenilworth Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Remove rocker cover, Head doesn't need to come off, but you need a compression tool to compress and hold the valve spring, a magnet to remove the retainers, erm thats it.

StuDaBear Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 be sure to cover the oil returns at the rear of the head incase you drop the collets, they can end up dropping into the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
