Hey fellows, sorry to drop out for a bit, but rain and domestic junk held me up. Currently the story is this: the head is entirely disconnected except for two pieces. One very stubborn hose and some kind of sensor? (maybe o2?) I plan to remove these tonight. Any thoughts on removing the sensor? a 17mm crescent wrench wasn't quite big enough. I forgot to lift the head up and get pictures of the carbon but I will tomorrow morning. Stupid hose is glued in place. I am about ready to cut and replace it. Once I get the sensor thing off i'll pull the head off the engine and that will allow me to more directly yank on the hose.
The camshaft hadn't showed up.. I hope it does today. I will be able to work on this thing this weekend... provided I can get the *&^&* hose and sensor off.
You might notice the distributor is still in place.. I was just going to leave it on the head until I can get it onto a workbench.
