    timing belt engine mount the one with 3 bolts

    I'm not a mechanic but I've done this a few times and it's not difficult to do. I use a floor jack with a pad on it and jack it up at the oil pan. A few inches up and a few inches down is all you need. As a precaution I have a large block of wood and a wedge along side the jack under the oil...

    I recommend send your head to Frank. He was more then fair with me and if I had any questions he had the answers.

    So, I so got the head back from Frank. He found the existing valves were not damaged, however they were not stock, so they were replaced along with cam,followers, seals, keepers and guides. It all looks brand new to me. He also fixed me up with timing belt kit and gaskets. Now...

    Is this OK?

    the first time I removed the camshaft gear I used the gear puller and cracked the gear. Since then I just use a hammer and punch from the back side of the gear and haven't had a problem. Does anyone else do it this way? Bob

I didn't do a compression test before I remove the head so once the head is back on I'll check it then. I'll be doing this because I don't know the history...

    Is this piston valve contact?

    That's what I'm asking, how do you know with certainty when a valve is bad. Like I said before they miked out ok for height and diameter but DanG said when a valve bends it can bend back to its original shape. So....I thought I should replace them all. Now I'm trying to find out if I...

    Is this piston valve contact?

    I checked the protrusion and they all fall within a range of .038 and 040. I checked this directly above the wrist pin down the centerline of the block on each side of the Pistons. So, looking good so far. I planned on replacing valves my question now is can I just replace the valves and...
