Top End Rebuild - Day 12

Spent a couple hours on the car today and finally got the passenger's side head out.

Went to CanadianTire the day before and bought the Jobmate "rotary tool" for $30. And used the Aluminium Oxide grinding stone that came with the tool and ground off the two rivets on one of the chain links and pulled it off with a set of cutting pliers. Word of caution here, it takes a decent amount of force to pry off a link, so make sure its not going to fly into the engine.

It was a bit tricky to take the head off with the guide rail pin still inside, but managed to do with lots of pieces of bail wire holding the chain ends.









Took out the distributor and one of the guide rail pins on the driver's side in preparation for taking that head off. To be continued!
