Greetings. On advice from many of you, I have begun to tear apart the head on my 2f. I actually had a really good time doing this. I was extremely particular about marking everything and taking a ridiculous amount of pictures for when I have to put it all back together. Anyway, I got down to the head and I see there are 14 bolts I must remove.
Here are some questions:
1. Do I have to take off all the valve stuff (not the cover, obviously, got that off already)? in order to get off the head? (any advice on how to lift this thing out is appreciated!
2. Any particular order to undo the bolts?
3. Torque when putting them back? what is the pressure?
4. Here is something strange. This engine was rebuilt about 18 months ago, obviously a crappy job since I blew a head gasket and it overheated the whole time I have owned it. BUT: when I was disassemblying all the bolts were barely on. One push and then it was basically finger loosening them. Is this right? Seems like many of them should have been much tighter. BTW this was from the manifold, to the carb, to the egr stuff, everywhere!
any wisdom and any sort of advanced advice for the rest of the work is appreciated.
