How hard is to remove LT1 heads and install some new ones?? Does anyone have any articles or anything? Thanks

 

Should be relatively easy.

 

is it just simply bolts and screws??

 

For the most part. You need to buy new head bolts and they have to be stretched a certain way upon reinstallation.

Then it's an oil change and coolant air bleed.

 

thats what i started to to and ended up pulling the motor. Drunk post are the best. later

 

Its really not to bad. For the most part yea its just bolts and whatnot. Just make sure to get everything unconnected before you go trying to pry them off.

 

don't forget the steam tubes hiding in the back...

 

I got rid of those things...

 

Removing heads is easy. Pulling the headers and the steam pipe is the bitch.

 

I have read that thing is a monster trying to get it loose......I think right many people just cut it in two and install a new one.

LOL, just make sure that you can get a new one first....

 

hell if you are creative enough you don't need a new one and you can make you own...

It just takes a few pipe-AN fittings some AN braided line and a Y fitting, and your done, there was a writeup on it a few years ago with full specs...

 

If is never been off its very tough to even crack the bolts loose. The driver side is the easier one to get, all you need is one side removed and bring the tube off with the head.

Or you can always just cut the tube in half and replace it with a new one. Forgot what the tube goes for but that is a quick and painless option.

 

what a strange sense of dejavu I got reading that, LOL...

 

Define easy.

Compared to a complete rebuild, it is easy but I would not want to take my heads off while the engine is still in the car. It can be done but it is a bitch and I have done it. Only one man's opinion.

 

i have done it twice and when i did it the first time i really didn'ty have that much experience and it still want that bad. did it in my garage with basic tools. Just take your time.
