I don't have much time today to work on this, so I figured I'd do something quick. I pulled the incorrect tail lights off and discovered that somebody tried to "make" their own export style tails.... :deeplist:

I bet! Do you have to buy a new dipstick now? I did! And how about that coolant line attached to the back of the head? And then the studs getting stuck... dude I know my sohc was a nightmare so I can only imagine a dohc... I should have told you this sooner but I forgot.. zip ties are your best friend. I zip tied the head bolts together to keep them up out of the way when removing the head.
How much do you think they weighed lol? I know at the time I thought mine were like 100lbs because of the horrible angle I was working at... and I'm no small dude haha

Yep... I ended up destroying the tube.
That wasn't too bad for me. It's still fine.
The only issues I had really so far were getting the PS pump off and one of the AC compressor bolts. All the other studs/bolts came out without too much issue.
I loosened up the engine mounts and put a jack under the motor and jacked it up a bit in each direction. I was able to get all of the bolts out on the passenger side by doing that. I got all but two out on the drivers side because of the hydo-boost unit being in the way. I tried putting tape around them first, but they were too oily and that didn't work at all. Then Shannon suggested zip ties.... worked like a charm.
I was curious so I weighed them. They're a little over 60 lbs each.

I went out there today to take off some more stuff and after I got the oil cooler off, I noticed something that didn't make me too happy....

Looks like they tried to draw the trans up onto the motor with the bolts.
