The L/H head is more awkward than the R/H, but then so is the rest of it unless you have done it before.
The timing is static and since there is no ignition there is no need for a strobe unlike early petrol engines.
Can I ask your reason for removing the heads?yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Hi. The reason for the removal is that the gasket on the cylinder head has gone when you start the engine the coolant is really bubbling up and under pressure. I am getting coolant and oil from above the gearbox. Looking at the exploded diagrams it seams to be that is what is wrong. on a previous post I put on the site I had a problem when the engine overheated and lost all my coolant. I have put a new cylinder head coolant flange on and it still does the same.

To be honest it's really a body off job if that's a possibility for you. Personally it's the only way I'd do it as it really is very awkward to say the least.
Just be sure the gasket/s are blown before you start yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
