i already have the motor out, forgot to mention that.... but is it just unbolt the intake manifold and fuel rails, unbolt header, then unbol tthe heads? can the heads slide out after that or is there something else you have to do???
FSM??? i got some manual cd that i bought of ebay that has covered everything i had questions about i just cant find anything about taking the heads off.... i guess ill just try my way and see what happens.....unless there is an easier way??? (assuming my way will actually work)
straight as a circle as far as having the information...... i still cant find it.... do i just unbolt the intake manifold, fuel rails, exhaust manifold, then unbolt the head from the block.... can the heads slide out then or no????
or do i actually have to take the entire intake manifold off the car???---i hope not
remove in this order and you should get it...
headers,intake as a whole unit, crossover water pipe, plastic cam covers, cam sprockets, rest of plastic cam covers, valve covers, cams and remember to mark the buckets with their positions as they are clearanced for that specific position, head bolts, heads will come off now with a soft hammer and some light force.
hope this helps
cool see that is what ive been looking for... i pretty much figured it out by now... but thanks! i do have one more question... my brother managed to strip a head bolt when i was working on the other side... is there any way to get it out???
its too tight to do any work in there. im not sure if it can be done because i always pull the motor to remove the heads.
give it a shot and lets us know if it works.
I would hate to do it with the motor in place. Trying to shim the valves. NO WAY. not me.. LOL. I can see the buckets and shimm falling off and getting all mixed up aswell..
