Civic 86 Timing belt - head removal

Discussion in 'Civic' started by Spike McCracken, Jul 16, 2006.

  1. HELP - After breaking a timing belt - I discovered, extensive slack in
    one of the exaust valves - My guess is it is bent as a few of you have
    pointed out that it's an interference angine and very likey.
    So it off with the head. Trouble is this has been bigger then Ben Hur,
    I have managed to get the 6 bolts lossening the exaust manifold from the
    head, but the manifold is held lower by other bolt and I can't move the
    manifild any more than 1/2". So I try to get the guards of the exhaust
    and loosten the other bold holding the manifild (to the block?) but the
    radiator is in the way.
    After dismantling the bumper, and removing the air conditioning radiator
    (without letting the gas out) - I can't work out how to remove the
    radiator.
    All this - so I can get at the bolts for the manifold - talk about
    frustrating, but a least I'm learning.

    I have both in & out manifild loose, the 10 head bold removed, and the
    head is still very held on. What is the best way to shift the head from
    the block ?? Have I got all the bolts I need released - certainly looks
    like it.

    Thanks Spike

    there's mounting brackets on both. one below the exhaust manifold fixes
    low down on the block. the other directly underneath the carb.
