    got the air box off, rocker cover off and injectors and wiring out the way, still need to drain coolant and remove alternator are my next jobs i know i need to do but don't know exactly what else has to come off. i tried to google but all i could see was just take off everything that looks like it's in the way.

    cheers for getting back so quick

    Drop coolant
    Remove aux belt
    Remove cambelt cover and belt
    Remove exhaust manifold bolts and pull manifold forward
    Take a look at the inlet manifold bolts. Sure on these I normally remove the manifold on the car. Cannot remeber.
    Remove head bolts
    Remove head. Easier with two people if your unsure.
