I'm in the same process of replacing heads. Looking for a thread similar to this but one that finishes the job, for some inspiration,,,

I actually completed the job!!! I had to take the business that replaced the heads to the BBB for poor practice. They left a plug out and did not tap the other. It cost me a lot of time and it still leaks a little from it. They refused to pay for the oil lost, the 10 hours plus it took for me to fit new oil plugs into the head. It was so disappointing to go thru all that work only to find the place that did them 1/2 A'd the first head.

Since I completed the job, I've had to replace the power steering pump, the alternator, the tension pulley. A coincidence all on the serpentine belt line?

Any one wants to know more about my experience please post.. I have lots to tell.

Koldenrjk,
I am glad you got it going, despite the setbacks. Great pics too, very helpful. I should be ripping stuff off this week (the easy part).
Thanks,
Bob
