Just a quick update. I have the head out and all that I need to take apart, removed. I have all my new parts and I am just waiting on a reman head to show up. I am hoping tomorrow it shows. I will keep a photo log as I go for anyone who cares.
Parts I am replacing:
Timing set: belt, tensioner,idler, and water pump
alum. t-stat housing and t-stat
New head bolts
Cylinder head replacement gasket set
Remanufactured head with my cams and lifters
Intake hose as it was cracked

Total so far $668.00
