I know I'm a ways away from you, but next time text me.
If you pull the head you leave the stock intake on. Exhaust manifold off.
Remove as an assembly.
But why you are pulling the head?
That car seemed fine except that belt when I seen it last.
You need to have the starter turning the motor to test rough compression BTW. Not by hand....that's way too slow.
Sure this ""mechanic" didn't mistake a common DSM lifter tick?
A valve would cause a constant running issue.
Lets back up......just so I'm clear.....
Head off for a noise or?
Intake? non-issue remove install w/head in the stock configuration.
