Well, thanks to a few very knowledgeable members, I've embarked on doing what I can to give myself the best chance of enjoying my LJ78 for years to come without a head issue. First off this is not an informative, how-to thread. Thanks to guys like GTSSportCoupe, Jarrat, Airheadnut and others, this non-mechanic has taken the leap.
This is more of a photo essay of my work. And, if you come across this as a new 78 owner, here's your takeaway......If I can do it, you can do it! Really. Outside of a few belts, sparkplugs and brakes, I'm not a gearhead.
So, with that. Here goes.
The Before with all the EGR stuff.
Here with the EGR attachments gone
After taking the intake off, hoping to get at the throttle plates without going any further..Yeah, right.
