Headgasket replacement
How much of a bitch is it to replace the HG on a dual cam.
Motor is already out of the car......
Also what things can I delete off the motor while its out?? Its an s13 ka....
EGR? Just seems like to much unneccesary shit going on

dont even need to weld a quarter (which melt under extreme heat)
just cut the pipe of, undo the boss thats threaded in, toss a nickel in there, tighten the boss back down. nickels hold up to the heat. i used to melt quarters with just a pencil torch as a kid hahaha
btw, this is called the 'nickel mod' for ap reason.

The headgasket isn't really hard to do. You'll need a fsm and some patience. Tedious work but not that difficult.
what would NPH do?

technically, you could remove the EGR, and the extra PCV lines and the aux air valve and the iacv.... technically...
but you aren't really going to gain anything from doing any of that and your idle will suck and eventually you'll toss a bearing because the oil pressure drops so bad when your idle drops so low from the a/c kicking on and off and the power steering pump turning...
you can also follow the vacuum lines and get rid of the charcoal catch car and all of the associated lines with that...
that vacuum manifold bolted to the back of the head, that can go if you are getting rid of the EGR and catch can... you'll just need a vacuum source to run to the fuel pressure reg.
you can bypass the coolant lines that go through the throttle body too.
