New cylinder head in place
I purchased a re-manufactured cylinder head for $180 plus core. I bought a new head gasket, new intake manifold gaskets, and new valve cover gasket from the dealer. I couldn’t get the intake studs out of the old head, so I bought some new studs too. Then I mangled the cam shaft seal while removing it, so I ordered a new one of those too.
The new head is on and torqued down per the Haynes manual (5 step process). I left the exhaust manifold in the car and then slid it on over the studs after attaching the new head. I couldn’t figure out how to get the manifold+turbo out of the engine compartment even with the head removed from the block. The head+manifold+turbo probably would’ve been too heavy for me to install solo anyway.
Waiting on some studs and the cam seal right now.
