Passanger side is (1357) Driver's Side is (2468)
Country
On Edit: Are you pulling the head, or the valve cover to get to #8 Injector?
Also what symtoms is the truck experiencing if any.
Lack of power, missing, running rough, just wondering. I'd hate see yah pull the head or even an injector if it's not needed is all.
Give as much info as possible on your truck also. Year, Mileage, Mods, etc,and also the trouble codes you are pulling too. Country

Before you pull the head, run a compression test. The last thing that I would suspect is a bad head gasket. More likely you have a bent pushrod or broken rocker, something not quite as drastic and repairable in the vehicle. On a van it's REALLY easy to look at #8 with the doghouse removed.

Already did. I took that picture before I did the job. Couldn't take another one because the owner was hanging around and wanted to hit the road.
