Seicento mpi head removal
In the middle of removing the head, does the position of the phonic wheel need to stay the same?

The crank pulley has a little plip between the three bolts for the timing pulley that it slots onto. It won't start if the timing wheel is on the wrong way round

Anyone know how I get the fuel line off?

It's a quick release fitting -- push the tabs, pull it off.
You may need a tool -- Machine Mart do a set for less than a tenner. Alternatively, remove the fuel rail complete.

Fuel rail removed, spun it around and the clip on the other side was broken.

Also fingers you were right about needing to do the compression test on no1 cylinder because of how the sparkplug looked

Can't you just get yours skimmed or am I missing something?

Can but would be nice to know all the valves and everything are sound and I'm not going to miss something that will cause a problem later.
Doesn't look like there's anything obvious that's wrong, but I'm no expert

That's pretty normal.
I'd just get it skimmed (and the valves re-cut.). Hardest bit is keeping everything in the right order and removing the valve guide seals (use a sharp knife -- the guides themselves are very brittle).

^ that's why I would like a reconned head
All that would be done for me as I'm not %100 on doing it.

No one is the first time! With the Cinq Haynes and people here, you'll be fine. Keeping it all in order is just down to using 8 labelled sandwich bags and counting the valves 1 to 8 from the timing belt end.
Magnet (for catching valve collets), metric feeler gauges and a valve spring compressor are the only special tools you need. Sellotape and a washing up bowl are handy!

After discussing it with a friend, hopefully he will help me. He's in the middle of rebuilding an old BSA or Enfield after the crank split in half.
We shall see what happens.
I know I always have great help from everyone on here
