Hi everyone, just wondering what tools I should go out and get cos I do not have what I need as far as I know, so what do you recommend I need to get a cylinder head off (plus the manifolds).
Also is it worth converting from a standard ED head to a EF Tickford head? thanks

Also is it worth converting from a standard ED head to a EF Tickford head? thanks Sockets + accessaries ( 3/8" & 1/2" drive), spanners, Tension wrench, 24" to 30" breaker bar, a deep 14mm impact socket, tooling for removing & installing the camchain tensioner.....cleaning gear/scrappers, etc.....Workshop manual. All are metric. VRS Gasket set, and a set of new head bolts, ACL Hylomar (spray pack), Grey Maxx RTV or Toyota Black RTV.....stuff for cleaning ( degreaser, carby spray, etc) Tickford head has bigger exhaust valves and a better cam.

10mm ratchet spanner helps, 24" breaker bar and a 14mm single hex impact socket. also a 10mm single hex socket as some of the rocker bolts can be tight. there are other tools you'll need but they are the main ones

Can I use 1/4 inch drive/sockets to remove the head bolts? or does it have to be 1/2 inch?
Thanks |

Your 1/4 drive set wont be in usable condition if you try and undo the head bolts with it.. youll snap your ratchet for sure, use 1/2,

I'm new to doing this kind of stuff and still learning about both cars and tools as I go along, so I'm sorry to be asking all the stupid questions. |

If you don't know..........DON'T. Get someone that knows what they are doing and assist them and learn.

No offence, but it may be beyond you to do on your own. Get a friend or someone than can help, and learn from them. Even if you pay for the job, still cheaper than if you make a mess of it.
