How do i seperate the head from the block?

I have both manifolds off and the cam gear cover off, and the bracket to the right, and and the valve cover off of course, now what?

 

Take out the bolts for the head(and anything else thats left over), then simply pull the head off.

 

k took it off, the tranny is bein a lil bitch though

 

Tranny Should come right off. If NOT then you will have to unbolt the Pressure plate through the Hole where the Starter fits in. The Bearing on the Disk is probably frozen to the Pilot Shaft. Either that or soak that thing in some PB Blaster.

Took me nearly 3 weeks of fighting before i pulled the Pressureplate off and then I had another few days trying to get that Bearing off the Shaft.

 

any tricks to get it off faster?

 

Sledge hammer!

Don't just whale on it, though. Start off with little taps. Increase power if needed.

 

rubber mallet.. or a pry bar (but dont pry at the deck / head)

 

For the trans...make sure you have removed the starter bolts. The rear most bolt threads into the crankcase. Also the rear engine mount connects to both the crankcase and trans case.

Do you have a Helms??? It sounds like this is your first time doing this. You should have a good service manual nearby to reference. In fact you should have already read through it before starting. It would suck to break something that you will have to fix later on, unnessesarily

 

BUY A HELMS

you need to untorque the head bolts in a SPECIFIC SEQUENCE not doing so could warp the head!!!

the head is off, that was easy just asked here, cause i was 2 lazy to read my helms. The tranny is a bitch but ill get it off, all the bolts are off. Giant torque wrenches are god.

 

with a pry bar.
