Arrow a question about hotcam/headers install

i got me some mods to install soon...

hotcam, 1.6rr's, jet-hot long tubers and a couple of the small things that go along with those installs.. for the cam install, i'm gonna yank the heads and put new head gaskets on..

my question is: i will be doing all of this at one time, will the headers be easier to put in with the heads off the car? i have read over and over about the tips and tricks of installing jet-hot longtubes..will the heads not being there give the needed room to squeeze them in?

thanks..

I can't really help you out with your question but do you need a new head gasket? How many miles do you got on your car. If it isn't a lot i would just leave the heads alone untill you decide to do headwork. It would be easier and sometimes better to just leave it alone untill it needs to be done. If it is good you may end up doing it wrong. Just something to consider.
