alternative way to install head gasket?
Is there any way to take off the head without taking off the intake manifold?
i am installing a new oem headgasket and srp head studs, but am having a hard time getting the head off
i have disconnected most everything...and wanted to know if there was anyway to do it without removing the im, or at least an easier way of getting the im off

well i need to look at the one in the back of the im tomorrow with more light...but the one on the passanger side is held on by a brass nut, but thenut is kind of recessed into the head, making it very very hard to get to it with a wrench

Alright...i got the studs into the block and the new hg...but the head wont drop all the way down...there is about a half inch gap. will that go away when i tighten down the studs?
