head skimming

[bmw9818]

need to get an m20b25 head skimmed, called up the shop they said i need to remove the cams followers and valves?

would like to say i cba to do it, but i dont actually know how to remove that lot, two valves are currently open so was just going to move the cam pulley until they closed to get it skimmed,

did a ford head before all of that was still on there, when skimmed

the heads been set up perfectly no tappety noise! and very smooth recently had a top end rebuild so want to avoid touching that set up,

If you turn the cam, another 2 will open. Its quite an easy job to do, take your time. No probs!

oh dear, does the bentley manual cover it?

it's not a big job, although you'll need a valve spring compressor.

when taking the cam bearing/guides off and also the valves, make sure you keep them in the right order for when they go back, you shouldn't need to touch the adjuster lobes.

All manuals cover it, Just give it ago.
