My right index finger is mangled up from the sharp edges of the head trying to yank it out myself. This is only my 3rd vehicle doing a head gasket. honestly its alot easier than repairing a stripped bolt on a flywheel in a tow tractor- underway- in a tropical storm. yeah that was a sucky job.But now I am on the turn around spot, so its all good.I got the heads back from the machine shop I was really upset with there work this time. the other times I have taken heads to them they came back all ends cleaned and milled. this time it was just the bottom done. The guy said another hudred bucks and he would do the rest. I politley declined and loaded the heads in the evo. oh lord my dog farted....I decided not to port and polish the heads on this set because it will just be a daily driver no forced induction, and not going bigger cams on this engine. My puppy shattered her elbow messing with my boys in the back jumping around running into crap, so all my play money will be going to her $2500 surgery.</blockquote>
