Awesome.

Get it done in 2 and you have the 3rd to play around :D

Nice. :D

I would love to have one. But, need to buy heads first.

Don't use the front and rear seals, those don't fit the air gap,those will cause a vacuum leak. Just use a thick bead of RTV. Also don't put any rtv around the intake ports, it will squish out and restrict air flow. Did that on mine and had ro remove later on.

A bit of RTV around the coolant passages is a good idea though. :D

I'll keep these things in mind when I install it tomorrow.
I got it torn apart and cleaned up today , before it started raining.
Installed new plugs,wires,cap and rotor while I've got everything out of the way.
After I get done on the topside I have to crawl underneath and change the rear main seal too. But no rain in the forecast tomorrow so I should get it all done.
Just glad I didn't break any bolts today.

Cool, so I guess the install went smoothly?

I'm still having a temperature issue. my gauge is reading 240 the upper radiator hose is hot, and the bottom one can be held with no problem. sooo..... I'm still at a loss as to what's wrong.
