Cylinder head removal questions.. need help asap
this forum moves a bit faster.. and i need to remove this asap
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

5. is there a sequence to cam caps?
thanks

The side engine mount stay on, no reason to remove to pull the head.
ARP studs have a Allen key in the top, you can take them out with that. You can also just leave them in the block if you like.
You can leave the intake on and lift from it...that works just fine.
You only have to take off the top timing cover.
The crank pulley does not need to be loosend...just the belt tensioner. The belt can then be taken off the gears.
Work the bolts from outside to in when taking the head off.
