Jim, a box of 100 latex gloves was $4.99. That's well worth the cost when it comes to the wife yelling at me for grease spots on the fridge handle.

The head is read to come off. I tried working on the bolts with just a wrench and a 3/8" drive set but my back is hurting. I have 1/2" drive deep wells but no ratchet for them. A quick trip to wallmart would fix that but the sun is setting and I have all week on this project.

Got the exhust manifold off.

Got the valve cover off

Pulled a bunch of hoses

Here's the rocker arms



There's the things (cant remember the names) that hold them



The striped down motor



It's amazing that the water pump can push coolant through this crap
