The studs are just as easy putting them back in. I believe on the driverside head you cant fit the back bolt in. I tapped it up just so it was flush with the bottom, put the head in at an angle, and pull the tape off.

It helped a lot having someone help put the heads back on.

They came off easy. lol

check the heads for cracks and flat

was the head gasket leaking

I remember this thread I think we all agreed on one thing high temps causing coolant breakdown and oil cooler problems

hopefully the new elc coolants will be the solution here

The heads are in the shop now. They looked pretty good but I just want to make sure. Going to make a bracket to put the heads back on using a lift for that when its all said and done I'll give the dimensions for the bracket just to make it easier for someone else
