lupoluke Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Any decent one will do it, I'm curious as to why you stripped an engine because of a bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamEdwardSwain1 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Any decent one will do it, I'm curious as to why you stripped an engine because of a bolt il 2nd that.

Zulley Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Any decent one will do it, I'm curious as to why you stripped an engine because of a bolt It was all going well, everything was loose but the head just wouldnt come off. So i un did everything as i was just getting annoyed with it. Then when everything was undone, i managed to lift it all out but there was a wire going to a plug which i couldnt undo, as i was swearing at that i found one bolt i missed (see pic) undid that and hey presto it fell apart, head out.Right under that red circle, theres two bolts, i could only see one of them. thats not my engine.Its been a fun 3 days, most of the engine is back together again, although i may just buy a cheap 106 or saxo and scrap the lupo. sorry.
