To reinstall the wiper arms reaching through the removable access with a long needle nose plyers you can slip the arms back on the socket and tighten the nuts after you reinstall the wiper motor.

First I am hearing about removing the wiper motor and I did not touch mine when I R/R'd the motor for rebuild. I think I just took off the cover per Jeff or someone's recommendation. I guess better safe than sorry though, but I know it can be done without removing since I did not.

Re: Getting ready to pull the engine!!!!

we got it out and I went ahead and cleaned the shop and pulled the sick head off,..We were all hoping that the issue was just a broken timing chain and a couple of bent valves,....BUT!..........

Re: Getting ready to pull the engine!!!!

Looks very similar to what mine looked like, although it looks like yours happened at a higher RPM than mine because the valve marks in the pistons on mine weren't nearly that big.

Hey Pete that is it so far, the dings in the pistons
Aren't as bad as they look, right now I'm trying to pull the
Other head but I don't know if I have to pulle the timing cover first?

Did you have your heads redone??...how much??

Timing cover doesn't need to come off.
Just make sure you take off the plug from front of head to get to the screw that holds down the chain guide.

Re: Getting ready to pull the engine!!!!

Since he has a chain to replace, the front cover will have to come off. Needs to look around in there and in the pan for any stray pieces & damage.
