Well well,
After my last post requesting assistance with my BMC 1.5 not starting, I must say things haven't exactly improved, but at least the issue may have been found.
My head gasket is gone. Oil in the coolant!
Anyway, have disconnected injection pipes, cooling system, etc etc. Have the rocker cover off, but now...
Cannot get the Rocker shaft out, in order to remove the head nuts!
Workshop manual simply says to remove rocker shaft! How is this done?
I have tried taking the split pin out of the end, and loosening the nuts (not the head nuts, the smaller nuts on the rockers) but cannot budge it. I need the shaft out of the way in order to get the head nuts that are under it loose.
Any tips?
Must be possible, or does everyone just sacrifice an 11/16 spanner and have it bent/welded to fit under the shaft?
Any tips appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
