don't forget how the spark plug wires go though..

doesnt matter, my motor is blown, i just wanna start taking stuff apart when i have free time to learn my stuff you know?

and where are these nuts located?

[cvc7chris]

Right on top..

there visible to the naked EYE!

2 like on the valver cover and 2 near the back end

[joemomma]

haha ok, excuse my in experiece with this stuff

[Losiracer2]

they're 4 chrome looking 10mm acorn nuts. Then you gotta remove the ground wire at the far right, 10mm screw again. Then take off the PCV hose in the middle and the breather hose to the left. And those 4 spark plug wires, it goes 1-2-3-4 right to left.

you might have to smack the valve cover a few times, just with your hands to break it loose. Mine was stuck, so i just stuck on the top up under the gasket and pried, because it leaked anyways and i didnt care about damaging it.

[joemomma]

ok ill take some pictures when i do so

[joemomma]

say, just outta curiousity what were to happen if i put the spark plug wires on backwards, or not in the correct order?

[joemomma]

ok so i just got done taking it off(took me longer cause i dropped my damn tool box and its one of the ones where you have to put em in order, and they all fell out) but after that it was WAY easier then i though haha

heres some pics:


i tried to take a picture of the whole in my block, but its way down to the bottom, and right next to the header cover thing....maybe ill take that off later and post some pics

[joemomma]

but yeah what would happen if i put the spark plug wires in the wrong order and then tried starting the car?

[ja23merz]

it probably won't start

do you know what is blown on your motor? It would be wise to take the head off in the correct sequence so you dont distort it. If its the head have it rebuilt it is cheap. If its the block have it rebuilt it is cheap too. Just dont take things out for no reason. Like dismantling a head because you need a rod bearing or. Dismantling a block because you need valve seals. understand?
