D4 7u head removal

There is no timing that has to be done after head removal, just reseting the valves. Take the rockers off. You can lift with a chain diagonal from rear exhaust to front intake if I remember. It isnt that heavy. As stated do not slide or set the head on the face as the precom chambers do stick out slightly.

I had the valves ground.would have liked to surface ground head but didn’t want to remove comb chambers.after you tightened head and before torque rockers.leave it a little loose so you can line up oil line to rockers then torque.book says 10 thousands clearance on push rods hot.i did 12 cold.good luck

Ok thanks guys for the input! I'm sure I'll have more questions after I get it broke loose and off there but hopefully not. Thanks!

Did you guys change out the head studs? If so, where did you find them?

I take that back, I had to reinstall them after the deck was machined on one I overhauled but they were reusable.

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
