ive removed everything including hoses cams, the support bracket under the intake manifold etc. but i was wondering is there anything on the timing belt side of the engine that i need to take off? does an yhting on the timing belt side hold the h22 head onto the h22 block?

 

Aside form the timing belt and the covers, no!

 

Mine had one bolt to the head from a bracket, the bracket is attached to the motor mount bracket going to the block. Did you remove the plastic timing belt covers?

 

okay thanks i thought so. and na i havent really touched anything on the timing belt side i basically just slipped off the timing belt enough to get the cams out. (and yes the headbolts are removed)and i think i know which bolt you are talking about its about a 12mm towards the top middle area correct?

and do i have to drop the engine on the drivers side? i was going to try and not drop it but idk

im going to have to buy a helms manual for the torque specs and things like this next week..
