finished my HG a month ago. The exhaust studs came out easy and I did not have to take the pipes loose at the frame. The exhaust cam gear is spring loaded so you put a bolt in it to keep the pressure on it. good luck
HG failed 12/05, typical numbrer 6 blow out. I waited to get work space finished so finally got started 12/06. Worked on it couple hours when I had time. Started it up 4/29 and it ran great. Had the white smoke on start up for about 5 minutes, but no missing or rough idle. Passed emission test...
97 40th edition, 145K. Bought a year ago with 135K. sold my 93 with 185K, never had a problem in 10 years, Birfs needed attention but ran great. Don,t know when I'll get to the head gasket, but I know I can count on you guys for tips. thanks again.
Sent Paypal to IdahoDoug for DVD. I have been watching for a long time and I want to thank all you guys for the info. You told me how to replace my VSV . Dealer wanted $800 to do the job, cost me less than $100. (thank God for my small hands). Have to replace head gasket now. will do PHH also.
