In my younger, more energetic years it would have been done already. Of course Brian has me motivated, as we're similar ages and he did it without a lift. Finances are a powerful motivating factor as well.
I hope to have a chance to pick Woody's brain a bit to see exactly how he did it on a 4 post lift. I'd rather not cut the lift up for what I hope will be a one time job, and he mentioned that he had a secondary method of doing it was well. Woody, if you're reading this, I hope you don't mind a quick call sometime in the near future for a very brief tutorial as to how to go about this on a 4 post lift. I know you're a very busy guy, I'll be quick!
Does anyone know of a good tutorial for cylinder head removal and replacement?
Thanks again to all, your input is invaluable. I appreciate you all.
