Default Heads Are OFF! :)
After double nutting (with a jam nut) taking the top head studs out, lifting / rolling the motor with a jack and a piece of wood I got the heads off. I pulled the lower studs with the heads off. I am cleaning everything off and waiting for my summit order (new arp head bolts). Any special things to look out for / assembley tip are appreciated. Solid lifter flat tappet cam - so all the studs / bolts are the same.
