How do you remove 350 head?

Answer 1

if the eng. is in the vehicle, all accesories such as air cond. compressor ,alternator,will have to be removed.

removing the intake will make the job easier. remove the valve covers. loosen the rockers and turn them so you can pull the push rods.mark each push rod if you are going to reuse them .(put them back in same places)

there are 17,hex head bolts.in each head . 5/8 heads. the end bolts are different length. when all bolts are out, you may need to use a pry bar to separate the head from the block.

when you remove the bolts from the intake you will find they are different length.put the bolts back in the right places, if you use the longer bolts in the wrong holes they will bind the pushrods.

also on reinstalling the heads, it's a good idea to put sealant on bolt threads to stop coolant leaks.

careful if the heads are cast iron they weigh about 50 lbs.each
