I am gettting ready to replace the head on a honda CRV. Is there anything i need to really focus on, aka is there any easy made msitakes i should be aware of. I have the head and the head changing kit with all the gaskets and what not and then i have the head studs. Is there anything else im missing? also what manual is best as far as specifics and details to use when doing this. i have done a head job before but like 6 years ago so im not as familiar as i used to be.

 

set piston one to top dead center before you remove the timing belt, everything else should be easy. Might as well invest in a tool to hold the camshafts as they tend to move easily when installing the timing belt.

 

thanks man

 

number 27 torx bit is my special tool for holdin the cam haha
