I was wondering if removing and reinstalling (Torqing) the heads possible with the engine in the car? I was just trying to figure out how hard it would be. Why? Because I am rebuilding it and I have everything but my heads arent in yet so I wanted to install the engine headless until I got them and then strap on the heads. Is this possible? Is it a pain?

 

Yes it's possible, but is easier done on an engine stand obviously. Wach out for the steam vent tube, it could be tricky installing it with the motor in.

 

I was just wondering if you'd recommend I wait till I get the heads (I have like 1 1/2 WKS to get done) and waste more time by having to install everything else after or should I Install the block then put the heads on with the brackets etc. installed.

 

If installing the engine from the bottom then wait till you get the heads so you can fix the headers on at the same time. If from the top it's easier without the heads and the housing bolts will be easier to get to.

 

Yeah like they said wait torque readings will be accurate.
