why you need an air compressor?!

If you place the compresor on the sparkplug holes keep it at 100psi it will keep you valve shut and prevent it from dropping down in to the chamber..but if you know how to do it with the peice of rope/string id be glad of the help..

what engine are we referring to?

---

...i see, a 1.4

seriously.

a 1.4 in a 306 engine bay...head on/off job done in under 4hours. the timing is so easy and the headbaskets are prone on them anyway so if you guna faff around with doing the seals, may aswell do a decent job and have peace of mind.
