[MENTION=52877]4x4dave[/MENTION] Have fun puling the radiator and condenser to get the cam out and in. Hopefully you bought valve springs.

 

Yeah i got new Springs and pushrods. Radiator removal is a breeze on this car. If you look closely you'll notice its already removed

I don't plan on disconnecting the condenser. Its just suspended by wire right now. Think ill have a buddy maneuver it around when its time to pull the stock cam.

 

Go fast goods came in today! Now i just gotta figure out how to take off my fluidampr balancer. Wish i still had the stocker in there. Would have been quick to remove. I think i just attach a puller where those 3 bolts are, but im not for sure.

 

Well I decided that I'll be fixing the head gasket myself.

Starting next week.

 

Nice!

 

I know my way around that thing so well now that I can't justify letting a new set of eyes attempt to fix it. Not many people can easily work on a 5.4 let alone a Dohc so I feel better knowing that I did it...right This time!!! lol

 

Need followers for 185 trick flow heads,do they accept OEM followers? Thats the last part I need for them.

 

I knew you would come around...Well, I new you would try. I didn't know HOW FAST it needed to be moved from the parents garage....that could of been a decision maker. Anyway, glad that worked out!

All the work you've done, a gasket should be cake...just need the time really.

Are you going to pull the engine or work on it installed? Is it worth pulling again to you ?

 

Hell no it's not worth pulling again lol

That summbich is staying put. Gonna order some cometic 4 layer gaskets and begin teardown next week.

Good news is that I sold my 2v and all the parts to go with it today. With that out of the garage my dad had some more room for his stuff so the truck can stay!! I'll keep you guys posted.

 

What compression did you go with?
