May 9, 201213 yr Why do you want to remove them? Getting to the HLAs is not difficult, but a little time consuming if it is your first time.
May 9, 201213 yr They arent difficult. Obviously gotta remove some stuff. Timing belts, valve covers and cam towers need to come off too. Get some assembly lube to put them back on... itll hold them in place so you dont drop them... If youre rebuilding them it doesnt matter much, but if you are just removing them... make sure to know which slot they came from
May 9, 201213 yr If youve got ticking lifters, replace the mickey mouse gasket and o-ring on the oil pump... or if the oil pump is really old, try to replace the whole thing.
May 9, 201213 yr replace the o-ring in the cam tower, as that causes lifter tick if it fails and sucks in to a pac-man shape. you should be able to wiggle and pull the hla free. It is probably stuck from suction with the oil behind it. There are smal holes near by you can shoot some compressed air to pop them out. Be ready to catch them!
May 9, 201213 yr Author the heads are off do they just pull out or what they dont want to come out have new one to install is there a trick or a tool ?

Are you doing a HG job? Cuz heads dont have to come off to get them out... Unless youre doing this out of the car and it doesnt matter, taking the heads off is just extra...
