Replacing head tomorrow

[Rebeltilldeath3]

I'm sure most of you have all heard my problems, well I'm praying the new head will stop them.

Any pointers or shortcuts or advice known to make this job easier?

It's a 22re......

I'm hoping I can rip it down and have it running by the end of the day tomorrow.  Never did a 22re before......

there pretty stright forward..Just make sure you don't forget the hiddedn bolt..It usally under oil and people dont see it..Its in the front of the head and bolts into the timing cover in the middle..It usally hides under oil so you can't see it..Some people don't see it and bust the timing cover taking it apart..

Aint that the truth!   The one I just pulled apart to rebuild was missing that bolt....  so dont forget to put it back too....

Be careful not to strip out the long allen head bolt that goes through the intake manifold near the theromostat area.

Put the lower intake manifold on, then the wiring harness, then the upper manifold. I tried to save time by installing both upper/lower intake before the wiring harness and it was a biotch.
