Its taking me forever to get going but I'm taking this old girl apart now. This is my thread so I wont have to start a new thread every time I have a new question. Also if you have sugestions i dont mind hearing those all day. In doing it with the cab on....one guess as to my footwear...

Starting the dreaded cab-on head job. Man, I would start by having the wife park outside, and setting aside half the garage with a huge table to start laying parts on. Once it's all apart, and while the heads are at the machine shop, I'd start at one end of the table and start cleaning stuff.....I see hours and hours of cleaning. Note: After you've cleaned various parts, and while the wife is gone....the dishwasher does an amazing job with the bolts in the silverware holder, valve covers on the top rack, misc pieces on the lower rack. I'm 100% serious. Just don't let her know
Slow is good...really. You're not concerned like a high volume shop, to have it done in so many minutes. Take your time, and pay attention to detail......the best way to get it done right and not have to do it again. Frequent pauses to assess what you are looking at, ask questions, etc...is a good thing. I find it gets fun after everything is apart, and installation begins. Then I go even slower.....
Lol...it started raining. If I would have staryed earlierbit would have gone better.. father inlaw will be helping and I have untill the week after next off so plenty of time.....or so I think.
Good deal man. It's not that bad once you get going. My machine shop amazed me and got my heads done in 1 day. I figured I'd have a lot more time to kill cleaning stuff. If you have any questions just yell, it "should" be fresh on my mind.
I had the battieries disconnected yesterday thank you very much...lol I have almost the whole font off now got all the fluids drained and taking all the coolers off now.
