thanks jerry, I will always post pics as long as the server cooperates, haha, I like gaskets that tell you which way they want to be put in. I went to my dads this weekend so no work was done on the motor, but I have a question that has been gnawing at me. I know that I have to pull cam in order to bolt head down. I am sure new head will come with cam bolted down .when I pulled the old head, i kind of pryed/pulled/jerked the cam out from under the pressure of the valves. Do I need to loosen all of the valve lash adjusters ( for lack of a better name at this point) to get the cam in and out, without risk of causing damage to the journals. I have done a search on your pages, and must not be putting in the right info in to get the answer I need. I have done the DOHC with hydraulic valves and am real familiar with these, but I don't think I have ever done this type. Thanks Bill. Parts are flying in now from rock, but gasket set wont be here til Tuesday, so I will clean the intake some more.
