To remove the camshaft and rocker arm assembly if im just taking the head off to replace the head gasket?

Haynes says so but i have become weary of this god forsaken book they call a manual. Im buying a Helms as soon as im done with this.

Thanks in advance

 

Bump

I need this question answered so i can continue removing the head!

 

no it is not. just the valve cover and u should be able to access the headbolts.

 

on what engine? On a b series you need to take the cams out as far as i am aware.

 

yes if it is a dohc u do have to take off the cams as far as i know

 

it is not necessary the first time i took a head off i made the mistake of taking the cam out which was just more work on b serious the cams do come out as there are head bolts underneath them oh yeah try to use a breaker bar or the biggest ratchet u have

 

absolutely need to take cams out on the b-series to remove the head

 

Well i guess its a dam good thing i do not have a b series! I would actually like a b series though...

But i digress!

I cant get the head off. I've pulled. I haven't tried wedging anything in between the two because I dont want to damage the mating surfaces.

 

success!

Head is off. Now to removing head gasket material... yay...
