hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows if it is possible to remove the cylinder head from a 126 bis with the engine still in the car.
cheers
Geoff

Hi Geoff. yes you can remove the head with the engine still in the car. but you do have to take the carb and inlet manifold off to get to the hidden nuts. if the head nuts are tight work them lose (back and forth) don't force them or you could snap the studs.

just a tip, working on the engine is surely easier whilst it is out. Removing the engine is really not a problem, i did it 3 times in the last month

just follow the manual instructions :cool:
