Subject:    2.1 Head Replacement for Dummies


Deciding that I don't have the cash to have someone
else replace the right-side head on my '87 GL, I am
undertaking this myself. This is my first time on a
2.1. Bentley offers the concept but not a procedure
sequence, i.e. what surrounding parts to take off in
what order, besides the valve cover, splash guard,
manifolds and fuel rail.

I understand that this sounds banal, but the labor
estimate indicated a time-consuming procedure. I have
too much going on in my life right now to be able to
fumble through the process willy-nilly, so I need to
be able to organize the time I have in the most
efficient way to avoid rushing through the job. The
archives search came up dry, as did a search for
personal pages with the procedure on them (although
I've come close several times).

Please help if you can.

Thanks,
Sam

P.S. If anyone has a way to bend the laws of physics
in order to get the exhaust header studs out, please
let me know. This is beyond the powers of Liquid
Wrench. :)
