i put each rocker, push rod, and lifter in separate ziplok bags, labeled by cylinder 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b (lazy to match up intake/exhaust)
ill clean them all separately so they wont get mixed up.
waiting on word about the heads, dropped in for hot tanking and redoing the valves w/new stem seals
word to the wise... since you cannot presoak the exhaust manifold studs with PB due to the heat shields in the way, remove the heat shields, so you can spray the studs, call it a night and let it soak overnight. that 20 or so minutes I let it soak wasn't enough so broke 1 stud off each head (shop is taking care of that)
could not get one of the 2 collector nuts off, gave up, let it set all week with more PB, came right off next weeekend
if removing the cat, remove the tranny heat shield, my jack stands are set to to a low height, being too low made removing the cat difficult - collector flange gets hung up on the power steering lines. since i have another jack holding up the engine i dont want to mess with the height... it came out eventually with the right angle
building up part list now... still need to send off injectors
