Tired of using hand tools, I went out and picked up a 30 gal husky air compressor and some ratcheting air tools. Make it a little less painful lol

Cam tool is a waste of money use a 15/16 wrench to hold the cam and an 18mm to rotate the engine to where all the pistons are in the safety position

Yeah! I saw that method too. But I gatta get some tools for the job anyways and I won't pay anything for them, I just put down a deposit and when I bring it back I get my deposit back, so it won't cost me anything to rent all the tools I need. Thanks tho.

Also I recommend the frpp head change kit it's like $100 for both head gaskets, exhaust gaskets and the bolts. Then you need the timing cover gaskets, reuse the intake manifold gaskets, a small tube of gray silicone, and get a can of kroil for the exhaust manifold studs, have the heads surfaced and make sure you keep the cam caps organized so they go back in the same place

Yeah the intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets are less then a week old, I just did the heater hose pipe under the intake because my last one leaked when I followed someone's post on here, but I put it back to stock and no leak now, I saw where it was leaking when I had the intake off but I thought maybe it was just moister from the coolant swishing around in the valley, but I guess once I fixed my leak it created that pressure and created a new leak since it's never been pressurized before. It's always had a leak since i bought it, but at this point I've fixed and replaced everything so now the only place it could leak from was the head gasket I guess so that's where it went lol.

Not exactly, - it just goes to prove when you pass bad info to other users, make up stories to support your bad info, put someone who's attempting to help you in a position to figure your BS out isn't easily forgotten. You were busted but not man enough to admit it. If I'm an *** what's that make you? I don't know but yea, I'd rather be the *** in this case.
