Cylinder Head Removal
Hey Guys,
Im sending my head away to be rebuilt before the next season. Which means i have to remove the head. Ive done quite abit of reasearch (And no i wont be doing it on my own) Just wondering if theres any tips/ suggestions you could provide so i dont make any unnessicary mistakes... Thanks |
New head bolts, or over-torque old ones by 5lbs (I've read).
|
Already have ARP-Headstuds...
Oh headbolts thanks for the tip ill look into it "username" |
it's simple, just follow the procedure laid out in the Helms manual and you're good to go. FYI, the Chilton manual is nearly a direct 'compact' version of the Helms. a lotta the same diagrams and procedures.

Thanks BB

if you are sending your head out make sure you remove all the sensors and anyother stuff that maybe taken off and lost.

NEVER NEVER NEVER DO THIS!!! dont ever say **** like this once headbolts have been torqued they have been stretched. They shouldnt be stretched more hense the name Torque to Yield. You will be fine reusing your old headbolts , i torque them back to spec and have never had a problem |
Like I said, I read it in the mini-me swap (honda tech?).

Originally posted by bbarbulo craftsman pro is good **** y0, I use it and I'm highly impressed with it. just last weekend I was killin tools left and right, yet the craftsman peices held up! mastercraft maximum as well, good tools for the price point. |
Don't take off the intake manifold untill later. It's a ***** when it's in the car. Also, because of the head studs, you have to lift straight up which can be tricky otherwise if you lift on a slight angle it will jam and not want to come off.
Make sure you drain the coolant first...I made that mistake once.... |
