sulzerman Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hi all Spitfire 1500 Is it possible to remove the cam and followers without removing the cylinder head? I was wondering if it was possible to remove the sump and work from underneath the car thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Not unless you really, really fancy making life difficult. All the followers will be at different heights, so you will jam the cam shaft on the next follower or the one after that in trying to pull it out. Worse, they are bound to slip down and then you'll have to poke them back up from below, while pushing the 'shaft back in, so the sump will have to come off anyway. As long as they don't fall right through. Take the head off an do it properly. Anyway, why take the camshaft out? JOhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
