Replacing heads in car? OK, I'm swapping the heads "in car" 2006 C6 corvette, HOW? do you torque the bolts that are in a "BAD SPOT" for torqueing bolts, like towards the rear of the engine compartment? the drivers side LOOKS the worst. haven't got everything unbolted and out of the way yet but it looks like it might be challenging, any tips? TYIA
It can be done I commented on this in other part of the forum. The Corvette Forum does have a step-by-step that was well documented by someone. If this is the first time you are doing plan on like 10-12 hours. As long as you have the right tools the torqueing is not too much of a problem. Double check I think the factory torque is like 75 foot pounds or I think GM uses a torque and then number of degrees after that. The LS9 ZR1 is much more of a challenge as I think the torque number gets up to like 120 foot pounds with their 12 mm bolts and thicker deck surfaces.
