Dowel that goes through engine mount into head - can be extracted by screwing a bolt into it and pulling it out - or winding it through a socket and extracting it.

You don't need to remove whole engine mount, and it will be a farce getting it back on if you do becasue of the way the tensioner works.

thanks fella, that's the thing, i haven't got an engine crane so will have to be careful . .Smile
