would you guys use a sawzall or a regular hand saw to remove someone's head?
just kidding, lol
ok, i took my valve covers off, and unbolted my headers (yes, it has headers), removed all the rods, put them through a box to keep in order. the chilton's (well sorry, i don't have a service manual) did have a set of instructions specifical for the boss when it came to head removal. it said nothing about removing the rocker arms, just loosening them. but there is no way i can get the head bolts out from under the rocker arms. is it ok to go ahead and take a rocker off to get to the bolt under it, and then put it right back on, and move to the next one? i am supposed to send the heads to the shop w/ the rockers still attached aren't i? and send the rods in their cardboard box holder too, right?
