Good luck matey. I dont know if it will be easier taking the inlet manifold off with the head or take it off before you remove the head.

There isnt much room down there. I would take the exhaust manifold off and leave that on the car.

If you need chapter and verse instructions to do it, you shouldn't be doing it. It's just like every other zetec

try changing coil pack as one of the most common reasons for poor running on the 170

Probably not! Cam timing or a breather hose etc is left off.
