Anyone have a step by step thread to pull heads?
I have a 01 Vert with AFR heads and ARP bolts. Passenger side head gasket is leaking and I want to pull it off myself. Just looking for a step by step thread with torque #'s and such if one is out there? Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks guys!

Be sure to clean out the head bolt holes extra-extra good. If you take an old head bolt and grind down 2 sides, it will work as a thread cleaner. Run it down a couple times and then be sure to blow "ALL" water out of the bolt holes or you will have a new gasket leak on each cylinder. Water doesn't compress very well...lol.
I took a straw and taped it onto my air nozzle to blow out the holes. It worked well. Put straw to bottom of holes and blow them out.
