Im considering purchasing a new type r head, w/valvetrain, and valves. Is this a pretty intensive nOOb job to do on your own. should i be ok with a helms manual at my side? how many hours do you think it would take a a nOOb such as myself to install?

 

Uh what are you installing it on?

EDIT: Nevermind saw your signature.

Replacing the head isn't hard...just get a helms manual...you should be able to tackle the job on your own. Make sure you have a torque wrench.

 

i did my CTR cams w/ gears myself with some POS torque wrench and i blew a cam seal. so im assuming i should invest more $ into proper tools.
