I need to swap a piston and rod out....any suggestions are welcome Re: pulling cylinder head #730752 06/13/06 08:15 PM Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 5,688 Port Orchard, Washington Esquire812 Trail Leader Leave the intake manifold bolted to the head, just disconnect all vac, fuel and coolant lines before lifting. Will save you about an hours time and half a box of bandaids. Clearly label everything so you can reconnect electrical and lines correctly. Take your time, slow may cost you an extra day....rushing may cost you alot more $$ and time waiting on replacement parts that were broke while rushing. ~Darin <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> 88' 4x4 *22R-EB Gen II* 87' $Runner *22R-EB Gen I* 85' Sillyca 22R-Esq "I LIVE IN MY OWN WORLD...THEY KNOW ME WELL THERE" Re: pulling cylinder head [Re: Esquire812] #730753 06/14/06 02:38 AM Anonymous Unregistered ok, thanks for the info...going to start this project on friday or sat...piston and rods are on their way <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Re: pulling cylinder head #730754 06/14/06 08:09 PM Joined: May 2006 Posts: 146 Washington state Jeffstoyo Wheeler Don't forget the bolt that goes from the front of the head down into the timing cover. It is burried in oil and located just below the distributor drive on the front of the cam. It is a 12mm head bolt. Most people don't know about this and can easily cause a big headache.

All i have left to do tomorrow it get the timing chain off and the intake manifold, with that said is there any need to remove the carb when or before it comes off??? Why are you taking the TC cover off if you're only replacing a piston and rod ? Also, you don't need to remove the intake, just the exhaust manifold. I just replaced a #2 piston with a cracked skirt and it's not necessary to remove the cover, unless you're replacing the chain or guides, of course. Use q-tips to clean out the oil and grime from those head bolt holes. When assembling, only torque that little top front head bolt to 8-10ftlbs.
