Damn that’s a shame. I’ll just work under it.

Yes. You need to take the pieces of the wiper cowl off around the hinges, then you take the bolts out of the springs, then push the hood up, and there’s a slot in the hinge you side the bolts in.

I've been reading on various ways to clean the heads and block and some have suggest using purple power. What are your thoughts on that?

I will def make sure all holes are cleared, it appears that any little spec can mess up the way the heads sit.

I've been watching several videos from a bunch of different youtubers to learn the best way to do this. Everyone so far has talked about how you want to make sure the dowel is in the 3:00 position and put the sprocket on the dowel as well with the dot in 6 position . I'm just hoping I remember hahahaha. A

I used the permatex gasket remover foam and a clean microfiber rag. Worked really well and no surface damage or flying abrasives that way.

I would go this rout too. I never liked taking abrasives to head or deck surfaces.

I'm going to try it and I'll let everyone know how it worked for me. Hopefully not to much elbow grease
