Pulled my heads w/out pulling motor.

chrismindless · 05-16-2005, 12:15 PM

Just finished pulling both heads out of my 99 rs ... it wasnt that bad, just took so long to get everything off ... the intake manifold is still on the block, though it is loose, it is not removed completely ...

I have slightyl warped heads but both gaskets where perfect ...

ANyone try getting the heads back in? It wasnt that bad getting out, but getting out????

I was thinking of doing some mock runs then putting the gasket on and going for it ...

Should i removed more stuff?

The driver side didnt show any exhaust leaks like the PS head, but yeah it shows slight warpage as well.

Wondering if i should upgrade the internals in my heads, grab some engine management and get a 7500 rpm out of the heads and 35 hp ...
