Once you get into it, and see how the tools work, I think you'll feel better about it. It's a straight forward deal.

Are you pulling the engine? What are you doing to the pan?

From what I've read, I don't think it's as bad a job as it would seem. Good luck, and have fun.

you will be fine with the motor out. DO you have the correct tooling or did you make up something.

I just did one last night. So the only advice I can give you is to make sure the head is nice and clean before install, and the manual tells you to turn the tap into the old cup 1and a 1/2 turns with that I pulled the tap out not the cup so I went 3 and a 1/2 and that did the trick. Good luck.

Thanks for all the help, got the tool from clay at riffraff, its commin soon, as soon as i get it ill install the cups, what did you use to clean the head after the cup was removed, did you use locktite and if so where on the cup did u put the locktite, gonna do all eight cups and o rings. wish i had the extra cash for the bellowd up pipes but they will have to wait. the factory ones were really clean, no soot or any signs of leaking.... thanks for all the help everyone...
