gingles why did you take apart your head? i thought you were just going to do your block?

I've pulled the entire engine and transmission from my car in 1.5 hours... I mean I've pulled it out 4 times so I've kinda gotten the hang of it. Last night i drop the transmission alone and it actually took longer. lol

But there isn't much to the head I don't see what the excitement is all about.

careful with the purple power...if thats the same ish i remember it eats aluminum....i soaked some pistons in a bucket of that stuff and came back 8 hours later and they had like some white crap growing from em....just ruined the pistons, had to buy new ones....you can use it i guess if your quick about it but every time iv tried it would oxidize the aluminum no matter how quick i was with it...
