[QUOTE="YUNG VEEZU, post: 1411548, member: 11262"] Thank you all for the tips again, today I made some good progress and some discoveries. Got the crank pulley off with the puller tool: [URL="https://postimage.org"][IMG]https://s21.postimg.org/6azs55e93/crank_pulley_off.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Valve Covers off: [URL="https://postimage.org"][IMG]https://s21.postimg.org/vsi6oqvzb/valve_covers_off.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Timing Cover off: [URL="https://postimage.org"][IMG]https://s21.postimg.org/nyhl3co6f/timing_cover_off.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I noticed that I accidentally broken the metal part of the heater hose that runs into the intake valley. Whoops. [URL="https://postimage.org"][IMG]https://s21.postimg.org/lotgslf8n/heater_hose_broken.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Heads off: [URL="https://postimage.org"][IMG]https://s21.postimg.org/sj3ria7vr/heads_off.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now! I did hear the popping sound when taking the head bolts off and each and every one of them. I took pictures with the gaskets on. Here is the passengers side cylinders: [IMG]https://s21.postimg.org/gspu0wf3b/passenger_head.jpg[/IMG] Here is the drivers side: [URL="https://postimage.org"][IMG]https://s21.postimg.org/xf7e9z813/drivers_head.jpg[/IMG][/URL] There is a little bit off coolant because as I was pulling the head off, part of the heater hose got caught on my shirt and I spilled a little everywhere. Now as you can see, the head gaskets are all intact. What do you guys think? I'm no expert but I assumed they would like like this (picture from Google): [URL="https://postimg.org/image/mkea5pr7l/"][IMG]https://s16.postimg.org/573zquvwl/blown_head_gasket_example.png[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
