    Hey guys I have pulled all the main bolts for the cylinder head (8each bay) although it feels like there is one more or so holding the heads. What could it be or do i just start prying. I just wanna make sure nothing else is intact before i start levering. Cheers

    There is a small 10mm bolt on each end of the head.

    Never leverage on the head to get it off. Get a rhbber mallet and tap it with that. That should be enough shock to free if its only the gasket holding it. If it needs more keep looking

    The passenger side bank has the bolt just behind the timing belt cover, under where the exhaust cam sprocket is. The driver's side head has it on the rear, above the turbo.

    Just had a chance to work again on the z, got the driver side head almost off, just removing some turbo hoses, I still can't find that bloody 10ml bolt on the passenger head bay, do I need to take the plate between the head and the sprocket or am I just blind.... The driver side is easy. Some one said its just under the exhaust sprocket. Forgive me boys I don't have any mirror to check with
