I'm about to remove cylinder head. and yes, i have HELMS

1. Any tips on dealing with side engine mount?? Can one person handle it??
2. Any tips on removal of ARP headstuds? like what tool to use? Size? etc
3. I wasn't planning on removing intake manifold, will it be too much stress for threads/bolts if i'm to lift it like that? don't want anything to snap or get damaged.
4. do i really need to remove all timing belt covers, loosen up crank pulley etc vs sliding gears out the way as shown in here

1. ive never dealt with side engine mount when removing the head so i have no idea wtf youre talking about

2. arp are 12 point 1/2" use that and a socket wrench with a breaker bar

3. it will be pefectly fine

4. thats too much work for me. i just loosen cam cap bolts and let the belt fall off

 

gotcha.. now.. is there a sequence for cam cap bolts??

 

Just leave the mount alone, leave the intake manifold on, torque order and spec are in the helms manual

 

can't find any torque order for cam holders.. so i guess there isn't any

 

no there is ill find it and take a pic for joo hold up

 

no need just let me know the page.. it only refers to install specs no removal

 

6mm bolts (10mm) 7.1666 lbs
8mm (12mm) 20 lbs

 

this whole time i'm thinking helms, thanks for the pic..

btw, thats exact same thing in helms manual.. and its an install sequence.. i need the removal sequence if.. there is one

if your replacing the timing belt you have to take off the mount to put the new one on. just put a jack under the car to hold up the engine, its super easy.

yes you should take off the crank pulley in order to correctly line up and tension the timing belt. this also means taking off the covers. takes time, but its worth it.

i took the manifold off to take out the head, but installed it on the new head before putting it on the block.

most of my ARP studs came loose easily. but you could always "lock" two nuts together and take them out that way.
