awesome, thank you.I am thinking, since heads problems are pretty common on gen 1 with more then 100K miles and since there aren't any usable guides on disassemble/reinstall in the archives, maybe it would make sence to keep this thread and make it a repository for all the experiences on pulling heads-after all many guys here do it themselves, many have many tips and advise.How about it, Phil? I personally could use all the advise I can get if i were to do this on my own; by the way, Douglas, thanx for the PDF on the engine, I recieved it.
