Hey guys, I have my d16a6 head apart, took the rocker assembly off like so



Ive never had the head apart so its just sitting like that, bolts still in the holes, from what Ive read, if you pull out the last 2 bolts the whole thing will just spring apart?

All I want to do is give everything a cleaning and check the shaft condition and then put it all back together heavily lubed with fogging oil to probably sit a while before its used.

Do you just remember how it came apart and put ti back together starting in the middle of the assembly and working your way out and then slip the bolts back in while holding it all together?

No tips or tricks to it? I couldnt find anything on it being taken apart

Cheers

 

From the service manual:

 

as note 4 says, its the bolts that hold everything together.

the shafts are notched so that the springs dont pop apart, as you might have been expecting.

but i never knew that note existed when i was taking apart a head and it all asssploded anyway. learned the hard way.

just take the bolts out slowly and have a rag to catch the parts. and its not difficult putting it back together.

 

I've taken 3 pm3 heads apart and they all exploded
