1990 Crx Dx. I have a burnt valve and need to remove the head. Can the head be removed with the intake still attached to the head? Probably be easier to do once its off the engine block. It has the DX intake with 2 injectors. Thanks

 

but of course. just remove all the hoses attached to the intake mani that go to the block.

 

when I removed a head off a shadow it was easier to remove it all off when it was in the box.

The exhaust manifold I would just break the bolts loose and then leave it on snug so its not flopping around then take it off while its off...I though that was easier.

 

y be lazy and make **** hard...youll probibly hurt your back lifting all that together....real men dnt take short cuts lol jkjk

 

no worries mate. i have an engine hoist that will lift a big block chevy fully loaded. never pulled a head on a honda so this is new.

 

There is a support bracket for the IM that attaches the IM to the block. you'd have to undo that first. Honestly, its like 8 bolt to undo the IM, it really will be much easier to just undo it from the head, then pull the head.

 

what he said...just get underneath the car when you try and get the on underneath in the middle its not hard mate

 

i disagree.
i did it in an hour and a half, my first time pulling a head.
two bolts under the intake manifold, disconnect the hoses going to the intake manifold. undo all sensors going to manifold, undo fuel injector clips. simple.
valve cover off, head bolts off, then just deal with the timing belt. i cut it since it was just a parts car anyways.
