- Start date
Head's coming off as soon as I get the money to send the head out, for a decent gasket, and arp studs....don't want to deal with it again.

I'm almost 100 percent sure I can't see it with flashlight or anything. I paniced when it happened and turned the crank to see if it would come back up...felt a little resistance and stopped....figured it got jammed...:3d_frown:

Damn, I hope it didn't get bent! If that's the case, you will have to take the head off.

I think I'm more worried about my piston....Hope I didn't damage it, don't want to take out the whole block...
can you take a small phillips screwdriver about 6 inch long and just slide it down the guide and see if it hits the tip of valve... or goes all the way threw...if the valve is still in the guide.. theres a 50/50 chance you can still get it back up with out removing head...
I would take the head off, if you turned the crank, theres a good chance you nicked something, or bent the valve. Lesson learned.

Aggreed, a length of (coat hanger) wire bent with a small hook on the end thru the spark plug hole you could work it back up into place -----

I hope your kidding, how would you get a hook down there? You know the diameter of a valve tem?

It's only taking this long, because a demonstration had to be set up, and we could only get together on Saturday to do it.
what the hell kind of socket do I use for the damn studs! It looks like a 14mm. But none of mine fit down in the space provided. Is there some specific socket I should be using?
:biglaugh::biglaugh:
Take it to a shop, or be very glad rayall is coming, and ask him to bring a 12point socket for WHEN YOU TWO FAIL AHAHAHAHAH
Nah I just kid haha.:naughty::naughty::biglaugh::biglaugh:
EDIT: Or do you mean you physically can`t get it on. If so, take the cams off.

Sockets won't down in the hole to even get an accurate size, and he's not coming up here lol I wish someone would come up here that knew exactly what they were doing to take off this head, put my springs back on and put this head back on for me....

Actually dumbo, you fail. Its not a socket. According to the tsrm, you need a special tool. (SST 09043-3810 from the dealership) or you can use a standard allen key bit on a 3/8 ratchet. 10 mm if I recall correctly.
EDIT: Hes taking the head off b/c he dropped a valve while working on it. I'm pretty sure he has the cams out already.
