are u sure 100% all of them are off, when i did the bm 6cyl i could have sworn all head bolts where off and everything else, even asked on bm forum how many bolts come out and they said same as what i had, got me mech to come look and there was 1 bolt hiding under the top chain tensioner! check and double check, it will come off easily once all bolts are out so must be something still physically holding it

I wish I knew more about the mechanical/engine side of cars, it's just an engine, an oily piece of metal and a bloody hand to me.

quite a bizzare pic



shows oil sitting in the bottom of the inlet manifold.... must have been sitting there from that track session where oil went up the breather and back into the 'clean' side of the engine.... damn breather pipes
