    Studs snapped off in head.

    it will break off. they work for some applications but not for old rusted bolts that have been in a block for years. If you are serious about using an easy out, dont say i didnt tell you so. Its just gonna cost you more for the machine shop to remove it becuase now you have a broke easy out in...

    Studs snapped off in head.

    Don't use easy outs either. You will wind up making the situation worse. Sounds like they are rusted in there pretty good. Your gonna have to either remove the head and take it to a machine shop to have them remove it or just not use that bolt hole. If you smear some permetex ultra copper on...

    ? about cleaning and installing lifters

    i beleive that the retainers sit on top of the bubbles not that i think of it. You will actually have to push down on the retainer unit as a whole to get the small retainer bolts threaded into the block. i do remeber that part

    Header install....

    I used the toque specs from my chiltons manual. i think its like 20 ft pounds. That and i installed stage 8 locking header bolts. Torque them once and you never have to do it again. Best 40 bucks ever spent.

    vaccum line question

    that hose goes to the fuel vapor canister (charcoal canister). there is a line that gores from that canister back to your fuel tank for ventilation.

    ? about cleaning and installing lifters

    I wouldnt touch them. I would replace them if i suspected problems. How many miles on them? they should be good for over 150k miles. the dog bones (X) is what i think your talking about. Isin there a bubble on one side and an insert on the other? then you have a retainer that holds those dog...

    what brand fpr is it. I had the same problem with my kirban unit and it was practically brand new. I called kirban directly and they sent me out a new diaphram kit (charged me 20 damn dollars too). Anyway, you dont need to remove the unit. just remove the top screws and pull the old out and put...

    Excessive coolant pressure?

    cap should be first. Its easier and just as cheap. he also never mentioned overheating which could cause overheating from a "stuck closed" t-stat. He says its coming from his rad and not his overflow which is really weird. The overflow should be overflowing before his rad cap. I have had a...

    Excessive coolant pressure?

    you dont need to have oil in the coolant or vice versa to have a bad head gasket. I had the same issue as you about 2 years back except, my coolant was flowing out of the coolant overflow. i chnged out the head gaskets and problem was solved. so maybe its just that you need a new radiator cap...
