how long do you think it would take to pull both heads on a 1987 TPI corvette?
well tomorrow , if A GUY SHOWS UP, TOO WORK ON HIS CAR ,
Ill jump into the project to help him out and using just common manual hand tools,
Ill basically do that job on a guys car,
just to see how difficult and time intensive it is to do the job.
now granted the TPI intake and the cramped engine compartment ,
and limited access to the accessories,
will slow down the process a good deal compared to many cars,
but I don,t see this whole deal exceeding 3-3.5 hours even without air tools,
(keep in mind thats assuming the normal bunch of seized rusted and broken exhaust bolts ,
and dealing with one guy who is not familiar with the process,)
and yes you can expect a couple rusted bolts and other common P.I.T.A. things,
we all encounter,in these projects, too slow down any project on a car thats 30 years old.
and dealing with the injector harness,
, removing the distributor
,ignition wires
exhaust manifolds,
fuel lines,
, sensor wiring,
alternator,
air conditioner,brackets
power steering brackets,
and ignition components
most of the bolts are #40 torqx or 9/16 hex
SBC HEADS
