Engine repair procedures - 1.05 and 1.3 litre post August 1985 / Cylinder head - removal

The procedure for removing the cylinder head is basically the same as described in Part A of this Chapter but note the following: a) The valve cover is different, being held in place by three bolts (see illustration)

b) There is a plastic oil shield located at the distributor end of the engine (see illustration)

2.1b Plastic oil shield

c) The fuel and coolant pipes differ, depending on model
d) Spring type re-usable hose clips may be fitted. These are removed by pinching the ends together to expand the clip and then sliding it down the hose e) The clips on the fuel hoses are designed to be used only once, so obtain new ones or replace them with screw type clips
