There's https://erwin.seat.com/erwin/showHome.do;jsessionid=B836836C3A3C0299F6D92E552E8593F5.ASTPVWE1 but it's not free.

That road looks familar... The Mad Mile in Allesley... Watch out for a Skyline doing circuits there

 

[james_mk]

cant you find me a free one.... or someone must know all the detials on here... that they can paste me......

the road in my sig...is up in coventry i belive...the road that goes towards birmingham... i dunno im a student there

 

[ibiza_95]

what do you study at coventry? my brothers there doing an automotive course...
id scan my haynes but its several pages.

in a nutshell
drain oil
drain coolant, by taking the top and bottom hoses off the radiator
take all electrical connections off the head, as well as removing the air box.
unbolt the water pipe at the front of the engine,
take water pipe off the side
take accelerator cable off
unbolt exhaust manifold at a point behind the engine... (right arse... will probably take you all day to do this bit... getting it back on is easy enough.)
unbolt rocker cover,
unbolt head in sequence something like

______________________________
[ 1 7 9 5 3 ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ 4 6 10 8 2 ]
[_____________________________]

pull old head away
clean away old gasket and carbon off the head and block
new gasket on
(replace head bolts
tighten head on in opposite of undo sequence
ill get torque figures for tightening if you need them

new gasket and bolts will cost you 20 pounds from ECP

bit vague but general idea

Oh well guess my idea for a drawing didnt work then

 

[james_mk]

ah thats cool mate... yeah if you could get the torque figures and the valve timing..

o im doing business management at cov... i finish like next month

 

[ibiza_95]

[james_mk]

Beaver. Do you wanna buy some 15mm spacers brand new in box with bolts... two of em? stretch your rears out??

[ibiza_95]

[james_mk]

[ibiza_95]

[james_mk]

OH man....engine code i have nooooo idea....

Early 2.0 8v's are 2E, late 2.0 8v's are AGG. Yours being a '97 it *should* be an AGG but anything's possible around that time. If you have the service booklet, there should be a build sticker on the inside cover - it'll tell you on there. Or failing that, dig out your vehicle registration document (V5), it should tell you the engine number (which includes the code) on there. So you don't even need to lift the bonnet...

shush.

How much you selling the spacers for mate?? would they fit a 99 2.0l 16v?

 

[james_mk]

Yeah they will as long as its a 4x100 which im sure it is. Theyre £40 i belive, and theyre stil brand new in the box, ive only taken them out once. ID do them for £35 and for that id post them to you.
if u wanna sort details out add me on msn or pm me.
