I remember someone asking about them a while back. I put some on my truck while I had the heads pulled off. They worked nicely. The tranny wasn't in when I was putting the heads opn, so the motor was tilted far back. I had to stand on the crank pulley to get it on, but I think if it would have been hooked up to the tranny it would have been ok.

 

I asked about them. I appreciate you letting me know that they worked out fine.

 

i just used them too, i think they are a little more work, i can see worrying about droping a nut or washer into the engine if the motor is still in the truck.

 

Yea .. .I thought about that too. I had some pen magnets left over from the failed lifter tool attempt. I used one of them to put the washers on and to start the bolt in the holes in the head.

They were a lot of work getting the holes cleaned out, but after that was done, I think they made it easy cause you could just drop the head on.

quick ... the only problem I had even with themotor tilted back like it was was a stud behind the passenger side head that holds the heat shield on with a bolt. The heat shield wasn't in the way any kind of way.
