[wawazat??]

on this job, eh?

Valve cover gaskets
Valve cover bolt rubber washers
Intake manifold gaskets (there are two sets, I split the manifold from the head, keeping the injectors in place)
Head gaskets
Timing belt (mileage dependent)
T-stat (mileage dependent)
Water pump (mileage dependent)
Radiator hoses (mileage dependent)
Spark plugs (mileage dependent)

Pull and clean the head gasket surface and block surface. Check the entire surface area for flatness very carefully. I found no distortion on the block or heads when I pulled mine apart.

Tools needed-
Cherry picker
Engine stand
Torque wrench (3/8" for camshaft specs, 1/2" drive for head bolts)
Strap wrench (for pulley removal)
Factory service manual

Keep track of which every lifter goes Matt. Replace them in the same hole they came out of. I numbered a buch of plastic cups and placed a lifter in each according to my numbering scheme. Some lifters will virtually drop out of the hole, others were held in place. I used a small magnet to pull them out.

This thread brought back a bunch of memories Matt. Bad from the incident itself as well as the reminder of the people we've lost, and good from the support I got and getting the job done so that I could attend the 10th anniversary meet and actually get to make some great new friends, yourself included

(I guess this means you won't be needing the engine?)
