A4 head and cam swap? About to start the install part of the head and cam swap and wanted to know if there is anything I should know about doing it in an A4. I've read everything on ls1howto.com and what not but from some experience there is always something they don't tell you and was just wondering if anyone has run into something on a A4 install that isn't usually mentioned? Just wanted to here an problems and solutions for stuff you guys have run into.
Thanks. I'll post anything I run into that isn't mentioned as well. Unless I blow up the engine, then I'm buying Yugo and driving off a cliff! Also I'm no mechanic so if something seems obvious, It isn't!

only thing i can think of is that you will have to hold your flexplate while taking off/putting on the crank pulley...

That and the tube itself makes getting the intake off just a little bit harder.
