Finally did it. Got the cylinder heads off. Now comes the part I hate most, cleaning all this stuff. Need to make a run to Auto Zone for more engine cleaner and borrow the hydraulic lifter puller.
Going to make one more try at turning the engine. If that doesn't work, have to drop the starter again and make sure the stupid spacers didn't get lodged in the flex plate.
Picking up a couple extra hours of work tomorrow morning. Means less time to work on the car but more money. The hardest part of the car is done for now. Most of it should be much easier to put back together. I was really, really, really happy none of the head bolts broke! Had that happen before and it is no fun at all.
So, not going to finish the car this week, either. Long as I can turn the engine, can get the heads back on within a couple of hours, including exhaust and intake. Then it's all a matter of peripherals. But first have to clean it up and get the engine to turn.
