Comments, criticism, and support are always welcome. --Jeff

pretty good video missing a few minor things for a complete teardown but good none the less...funny how anal he was about cam cap labeling (they are already labeled) and labeling the old buckets because if you are doing a cam they all need be lashed again so it doesn't matter where they came from...

now he should get into the nitty gritty of new valve guides and installing bigger seats...that's where heads get to be lots of fun

"I put this together..."

He = me.

What did you find to be missing?

EDIT:

As far as labeling the old buckets go, the video (very consciously) makes no assumption about what you might or might not be doing after you get the head apart.

As far as the camshaft caps being labeled, yes they are labeled to include: intake/exhaust and position number. They are not labeled RHS or LHS. The labeling method provided is foolproof.

very true about not knowing why the individual is tearing the head down. Even if reusing the same buckets and cams I still check lash (only time I did this was a guy only wanted springs and retainers).

I split my parts collection up per head and keep seperate bins/baggies so I've never had to worry about it...I'm actually quite anal about labeling too and still label which buckets went where even though it isn't needed (maybe I'm OCD )...the only things left out that I do when doing a head (but I'm porting, etc) is oil and coolant plugs to clean and of course valve seals...

I really did like the video and takes some of the mystery out of the head for those who have never done them.
I still give it two thumbs up

sounds good and building it on the side is 100% the way to go IMHO...I recommend doing it that way to all of my customers
