In 2015 my 2200 TC most probably dropped a valve seat (see thread Possible valve spring failure? | Classic Rover Forum). Since then the car has been sitting in my garage. I really miss the car and has now scheduled two days to remove the cylinder head, then sending it for repair. First time for me removing a cylinder head, so I would be glad if you could share me any tips/tricks to avoid pitfalls.
Today I have removed carburettors, exhaust and rocker cover, and set the engine to EP. Tomorrow I will start with loosening the timing chain.
I´m most worried about the timing chain and the tensioner. Do I have to remove the tensioner, or is it enough to use a circlip around it to prevent is from falling down in the sump when loosening the timing chain and securing it at the "smiley face" support bracket?
Is there anything special to bear in mind when loosening the head bolts, camshaft and when lifting off the head?
