Series 2 injector plate removal.
Quick question, how does the injector plate seperate from the head,. Ive got manifold off, and the one centre nut, am I missing something?

When you've taken all of the nuts off, use a chisel or a flat screwdriver (without a hammer!) to separate the plate from the head. You've got to use an adhesive sealant for the coolant opening in the middle of the cylinder head and this is sometimes hard to remove.

Thanks for all the replies guys.
Came off with a little gentle persuasion from the council screwdriver.
What sealant do I need for the coolant opening when I reassemble?. Will black Sikaflex do the trick?
Also whats best to use to clean block and head before new head gasket goes on?
Wet & Dry and WD40?

The right gasket and something like Universal blue by Hylomar. Apply on both sides.
Scratch the rest of the gasket off with a sharp blade, something like a box knife etc. Then use brake cleaner and dry paper.
