Yeah, that`ll do it although once the valves are out the way, I like flicking them off with a screwdriver, to see how far they flirt

Last time I had a citroen cylinder head that far to pieces, was a few years back when I re-built the engine on my ZX 1.9i.
I found difficulty in getting the old stem seals off, as they live in a very deep recess, and at that time, I didn't have very long nose pliers in my tool kit!
Putting the new ones back in, was easier, I used a deep reach socket and a very small hammer.

Not even for banging in very small nails (or tacks)?*docchevron1472 wrote:There is NO place in a mans toolkit for a very small hammer...
*Granted though, it's not essential. Last furniture tacks I nailed in using a 2.5lb clubhammer.
... all landings are in fact controlled crashes, and any crash you can walk away from is a good landing. The definition of a good pilot is a man with the same number of landings as take-offs.

See, thats the stuff! Big hammers FTW.
And no John, it would make no difference if you were a real man, there's simply no excuse, man or no man, get a bigger hammer!
