Hi Guys,
A 1991 Tarago only had a 4 cyl engine. So I wonder if the answer still stands; that you can remove the head with the motor installed. Cheers, Jim

yes 2.4 twin cam. Head comes of easy took me about an hour. To move the two front engine mounts lower the engine on to the oil filter makes life so much easier.be carefull not to break the upper timining chain guide. Lesson learnt.
