If you have a spare intake and exhaust... no. Considering every engine head known to man has the intake manifold and exhaust manifold attached to it.. Yes, i'd remove them.. The new head will work better with them than without them.. Torque angle degree? :dunno: Did someone feed you some wrong terminology? I've built many-a-motor, and have never heard that even said. Are you perhaps speaking of the ignition timing, or how to properly time the timing belt?

Torque angle degree? :dunno: Did someone feed you some wrong terminology? I've built many-a-motor, and have never heard that even said. Many head bolts are stretch bolts or TTY Torque To Yeild. After torqing them, you turn an additional 90 degrees or more to reach the final clamping force.
