ok well I had the head shaved...only cost me $35 at NAPA too. Soooo I'm in the process of reinstalling the head...right now I've got to reinstall intake manifold, exhaust manifold, coil pack, remove oil filter, drain radiator, reinstall valve cover and thats it! Not much huh?

Wish me luck!

oh yes the guy was telling me how he measured the head...

if its below 2000 something then it doesn't need to be machined...anything over does and mine was only 6000 so it was barely touched but needed to be done so I wasn't going through the same thing again.

oh and you say draining the radiator gets rid of the coolant in here correct?


and and ONE MORE question
how the hell do I get that 02 sensor out of the exhaust manifold? Do I just use a regular wrench or what? I need a socket to fit on that damn thing because its too tight for a regular wrench. And this fake PB Blaster Autozone crap hasn't worked one time yet!
