Hey, a quick question. To remove the block from the gearbox, ive undone the dozen bolts around where the block joins the gearbox, removed the flywheel etc. but i was wondering do i need to remove all the bolts from inside where the clutch was? and do i need to remove the cover at the other end and remove the cam? Also to pull the block off do i just pull it upwards or is there a "fancy" way of doing it?

Sorry if these questions are stupid but i just want to make sure im doing it right


Thanks Blake

Did you remove the alloy clutch housing and drop gears? The engine won't separate from the box until you do.

You will need to remove the entire alloy clutch/flywheel housing if you haven't already (I'm assuming that's still on from your "all the bolts from inside where the clutch was" question) , also check at the very front of the motor (timing chain end) to see if you haven't missed any bolts hidden in there . We've all missed a bolt at some time or another and have cursed trying to split the motor and the box .
