Cylinder head help...

[trillatl]

Anyone in the Akron/Canton area any good at doing a head swap? This is my first DSM, Ive done one on my Integra a while back but I'm not sure if its the same deal here...

Keep track of all that comes out and where it came out of. IMO the timing is the most difficult part but not impossible. Not too bad at all

The crazy part is I know how to do the timing inside out... The only part thats going to piss me off is getting the header bolts that are stuck on off!

Lol yeah just be real careful not to strip them. If i remember right they should.be studs. So thats makes it a little easier.. and having the wobbly heads (ujoints) can make the job a little easier.

While you're doing a head swap might as well use arp studs and torque them properly.

^ I completely agree. Its 100% worth it.
