Yooo will love it.

It's not hard either, put aside 6hrs or so if it's your first time.. 3-4 if you're experienced

Remember to set the timing right. Don't forget to put the timing chain tensioner back in. Don't flip the head over to clean the valves - and if you do, make sure the valve buckets haven't slid up and dislodged your shims.. Don't ask me how I know that tip. hahaa

Good luck.

My kit is still in the box. I won't be able to start the install until after the new year. Our house should be finished by then and hopefully we'll move in prior to christmas. I can't wait to get it installed though!

Got mine started today, did part of the tear down checked the valves. Found I need to get some shims before putting it back together. But at least i got started.

Good lord, went to get 2 shims for the valves and it cost 17 dollars. I guess thats the price for close tolerances. I bought a whole car that ran once for 12 dollars..... And drove it to work for a year.
