Subject:      removing upper engine tin?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I could use some advice....
I need to retorque the nuts that hold on the cylinder heads on my 1982 air cooled Westy.  I would like to do this without removing the enigne.  To do this I have to remove the upper cooling tin.  So far, all my attempts have come up short.  I am particularly puzzled by the tin that runs between the back of the vehicle and the fan shroud.  Do the fan and shroud need to be removed in order to get this tin off?  I know I will need to remove the intake manifold and the alternator.  What about the central air distributor, auxillary air valve, and thermo time switch?  One last question.  Can I just remove the tin on one side?  For example, if I just wanted to get at the right head, could I remove all the stuff on the right side and leave the left side intact?


Thanks,
Jake_beaulieu@yahoo.com
