Oh no I here you cry!
Anyway, as some of you may know I've started striping my engine down to overhaul the top end and all's been tickety boo until I got to the last long water pump bolt. It's to the bottom left of the water pump and the head has sheared off so I thought fine, the timing cover is coming off so I'll be able to sort the remains of the bolt out then.
But, I can't get the timing cover off. So, I have two theories, firstly that the snapped bolt is seized in the hole through the cover or, that I've missed a bolt somewhere. Can anyone tell me how many bolts I should have?
Presuming, all the bolts are out am I now just left with tapping (hammering?) the timing cover off?
Cheers,
