Need Help with a EA82 Engine.

Post by Kelberg » Mon Jan 28, 2008 12:07 pm

Hi

I have a EA 82 that has blown a head gasket. It is my job to pull it apart and get it milled if neccessary and the mechanic brother will put it back together next weekend. I am having trouble getting to the bottom bolts in the camshaft case because of the holder not allowing straight access (I can't get the socket on straight. Could somebody tell me what tool I need to buy tomorrow to get the job done.

Thanks

Kelberg

Thanks suby 87

I couldn't see how it can off and got off on a tangent looking at the pictures in the gregories manual.

You can see why I am not the mechanic
