Finished taking my head apart today. Just can not get the spark plugs out! I can not find the right sized socket. I think I need a 20mm or 21mm thin wall. I do not think the spark plugs are the same size as most in m20's are.
I used a Lisle valve spring retainer tool. They are so bad ass! Took me all of 5 minutes to take my valves out. Just place the tool on the valve retainer, give it a firm tap with a 5# hammer and bobs your uncle.
Exhaust valve
Intake valve
Lisle tool (truly god like!) it is magnetic to ketch all your parts.
This is the removal end
Installation end.
And the motor as of now.
Money is low right now. I need to pay off what I have built up on my credit card in car parts. I had a few days off for Easter, and before that I had a sick day, which really ate into my last pay check as well. :(
Progress will continue to be slow for a while till about the end of May.
