Readers Digest abridged version:
  1. Open hood
  2. Remove old heads
  3. Install new heads
  4. Close hood
  5. Drink

Feel free to add an additional step #5 after step #2.

Default After head swap

After a head swap, does the car have to be re-tuned? If so, how do you drive it to and from the tuner?
