to tell you the truth this is the first time ive ever attempted to take apart an LSX motor and its not half as bad as i thought it would be. i actually had a harder time taking off the bumper than i did pulling the heads off i'll get more pics up as work progresses. thanks for looking guys

have fun scraping off the gasket stuff. I think KP liked it when he did it and said he'd do it for free if you live close

Make sure to get those bolt holes clean/dry. I twist paper towels into a point and wick the water out
