on a fiesta RS turbo?

im a novice/learner with engines but know how to use tools etc

 

For someone who has little experience, I would say about 1 - 1 1/2 hours

Its not a big job especially if you leave the manifolds on

 

would i need the timing set up or anything like that afterwards?

if its not that bad i may as well get it off and check on the the head gasket

 

as above 1 - 1 1/2 hours yes you would have to have it timed up again and I would put a new belt and tensioner on!

 

Best advice is buy a HAYNES MANUAL,tells you everything you need to know.

 

There is more cost effective ways of doing this. Have you actually got a reason to take it off or are u just being cautious? Personally if its just as a check i would perform a compression test. Your going to pay £40ish for a head gasket set plus the price of skimming the head.

The old saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it". Thats just my advice anyway mate

 

couldnt agree more, Why the hell you gonna take the head off just to check gasket??? the minute you take the head off you will need a new one not to mention new head bolts and highly recommended, new timing belt and tensioners. if you arent experiencing any symptoms of a blown head gasket then dont bother mate.
especially if you dont know what you're doing. if you get it wrong putting it back together, ie. one notch out on the timing, you could bend valves and end up in a worse position than you started.

 

Forgot about the bolts thats another £15 ish

 

 

Me???

 

 

 

 

I'm going to rise above it and not stoop to your level

 

now we r just filling this guys post with rubbish,
thats terrible!

 

MATT-FRST

if you're a novice/learner, just leave it if it aint fooked. if it is get some1 else to do it for ya, you dont wanna fook it more than it already is mate.
