I disconnected all the plugs and harnesses, headers, and unbolted the 10 huge bolts. I thought after this the head would just come off easy....
Now I was trying to unbolt the intake mani but I can't get one of the nuts off. ( Engine is still in car)
What a crap rainy Sunday! How do I take this thing off?
In the mean time I'm gonna go take apart the MK2 1.8 motor I have on my engine stand.

PS: I will have a full Z6 mini-me swap if anyone is interested.

 

there is an intake manifold bracket tht bolts to the block. You'll have to remove this first. If everything is off, just grab the manifold and pull up and down hard and it should crack loose.

 

How do I get my hand or even a ratchet under there!!?! Hoooolyyy!

 

get a stubby wrench and reach to the back of the intake manifold, its two 12 mm. Just feel them.

It's not hard. Or get a socket and ext. for the block bolts. I forget what size they are, but most likely 12 or 14mm
