[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 8607411, member: 8854"] Having just rebuilt my engine I gotta tell you pulling a head in the car will be a nightmare and not save you ANY work. I've pulled the k-member in my car and dropped the oil pan and pulled a valve cover and I stopped there. It was a LOT of work and I couldn't see the head even coming off. I put it all back together, removed the hood and pulled the motor. The motor comes out very easy in these cars. You don't even have to break the a/c or power steering systems. Both systems have their pumps down low on the sides. Just unbolt them and move aside and lift the motor. Then re-ring or rebuild or what ever you want to do on an engine stand and then put the motor back. Dealing with all that front cover stuff, timing chains etc. Ahhh I can't imagine in the car. Not worth it in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
