Cheers. No its a right pain lol. Tbh it's coming apart quite nicely, I don't like the design on the timing belt. I've done a few other cars but never one of these duratecs as I've heard they're a pain! I ended up jamming a screwdriver in the flywheel and cracked the crank bolt off with a big torque wrench! I have been battling with it all week trying various things but that's what ended up working for me!
So the head is now off, next I'll do sump and probably just take the rest of it apart and yank it out by hand! I'm guessing with all the shards of metal I found in the cam oilers it's gonna be a new engine job! Cheers for replies.
