ohh thats the intake bracket. i believe its 1 14mm bolt u get on the bottom of the block. or you can remove the 2 14mm bolt on the intake and u get the same result either way. and once its off toss it. i did it and i havent had a problem since. everything is held up nicely by the intake bolts.

Im trying to find it but I dont have any way of getting to it the haynes manual does show them but wtf I cant get to them. Thats all I need and the head is off then head bolts and done.

This pic shows the back of the IM and what im talking about but cant get to them. Oh yeah sdsmracer thanks and gus thanks as well. Just trying to get to them. Head was pretty easy to take off except this part on the mani that had me going crazy. It would have been 2 hours to remove but guess not.

Im saying it to every one I did fail this is a epic fail lol. i will post pixs of the damage. Right now its to dark to see out side so yeah I removed the hood and man does it make it better to work dont feel all trapped lol.

That bracket isn't pictured in any of those pics. And stop being lazy its not hard at all to do.

you can get one of the bolts off from the throttle body side of the intake. and the other from the side where the AC line runs from. just unbolt that and squeeze your hand in there. its a tight fit hahah. trust me. ive done it a couple of times. orrrr just get the one from the bottom of the block. i think that would be the easiest. u might be able to get it from the bottom of the car. inbetween the downpipe and whatever goodness is under there.

Yes sir lol. I ment well I messed up by saying this pic but on one of the pics you can see the back of the intake manifold but anyways yeah i will get to it tomorrow morning since its getting late well thanks guys. Im sure im not lazy since I knocked this out by not making one mistake lol. Yeah im guessing I will just take the bolts off since I dont want to go under the car. Thanks guys and damn this noob gets down lol.

Well I managed to take the bracket off I just unbolted both from the IM. Now all I need is the headbolts. Will these come out easy or will they require some cojones to get them out. I dont want to break them inside the block.

They will be hard to break free. They shouldn't snap in half but make sure you use a quality socket on them as a cheap one will probably just snap.

I'd sell you the head off my car (even though its a 6bolt) since I'm buying a 7bolt head and another block, but it won't be for a few months. (Head has 13k).

If you need help tomarrow, I'll be free after 530.

Alright guys well everything is off except these weird allen bolts looking thing. There is 3 of them but cant find out what size to use I have used 10 to small 11 has play and 12 to big wtf now what is the correct size for these. there is 3 of them right in the middle of the head the top are in the shape of a allen wrench. Kevin thanks for offering help but most of it is off. I want to use the 7 bolt head since it has bigger runners.

I know I posted this before I talked to you and yes I am tripping balls lol. I just noticed what I wrote my mistake. Well the head is off guys and now I can see there is something wrong lol the cylinder walls look nasty for some reason pics will be up a lil later snapped the usb cable for my sis camera im going right now to buy a new one from sears well I put pics later,

Pics will go here in a lil while the pics will be up loaded in order IE 4321 pistons 4321 walls 4321 valves and do on. These are the high rise pics very detailed guys so tell me the news.

Wally my friend, I think you just won yourself a ticket to the goldmine thread! On another note, have Gus do your T-Belt. Get it done perfect the first time around.

haha I did do it right it worked magnificent but I had to have a stupid ass shirt there aaaaaahhhh im still kicking my own ass for wtf i did lol. hhhmmm valves look weird tho took cams lifters rocker arms and some valves dont sit all the way they stay somewhat opened off to the side.
