Hi, has anyone changed a head gasket on a marea 2litre 20 valve?
It has air con and 2000 model, just want some general advice about removing alternator/air con belt and any other general advice would be much appreciated.

many thanks.
 
the only advice I can give on removing the ancillaries is to employ a strong, but skinny 4 year old, as your wrists cant bend to the majority of the bolts!

Nah, its not too bad really. Air con belt tensioner is visible from the top of the engine looking from the front bumper, just down the left and back of the pump, allen key head. Slack off aand your belt is free. you then need to undo the bolts, 2 ontop and 2 on the bottom iirc, then remove the pin from the adjuster arm and the air con pump is free enough to get in and around!

You are best off leaving the inlet manifold in situ until the head is off the car, unless you have some leprechauns to send down the back of theblock to get to everything?

its simple, just tight on space
