Book data, warranty pays 16.7-23.6hrs, actual 23.8-32.6hrs for a HG R&R.

If you are an ace, you might do 1 in 10 hours? Unlikely though.

DOH!!! Edit:

16.7 warranty 23.8 actual for ONE bank.
23.6 warranty 32.6 actual for both.

Unlikely a typical guy with skills could remove 1 head in 10 hours, much less put it back together.

There are too many guys here who will let misinformation come about and STAY as the correct way.

BTW, ive yet to see anyone break off a LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, LML high pressure fuel line. those damn things are over a 1/4" thick, you would be way more likely to round or strip the threaded bungs before breakin a line

I spend way too much time on here, I need to hook the TV up or go fix the lathe and start making sumps again. Think that might be a good idea

I guess you go strictly by the book then. Does it say to send the heads out for inspection when changing a HG?

This is a question, not shit talking....

you can not accurately check a heads flatness by using a straight edge. if there is .010 difference you will not see it or accuratly say the head is completely flat is every direction possible. Aside from the fact you cant test for leaky valve seats and guides as well.

Even if you DONT go by the book, the average joe IS NOT gunna do both heads in at or under 10 hours, not even in 15. if you did it day in and day out and had every tool you needed lined up infront of you, used air tools on damn near every bolt, dont care where the coolant falls, and dont put EVERY single bolt back in that holds bracketry and what not, you MIGHT squeak 10 hours out of it. and thats assuming you run into no issues.

How many forums do you need to get banned from before you learn to STFU???

So many people have disproved what you say, not just the 2 you always want to call out and :baby: about....

You spew all this nonsense on all the forums yet you don't even work on your own truck???:rofl:

Clean the cylinder head of all foreign material. Do not use a motorized wire brush on any gasket sealing surface. Clean the threaded holes. Clean the injector bores using EN-47909 . Inspect the cylinder head for the following:

Measure the cylinder head for warpage with a straight edge and a feeler gauge. A cylinder head block deck with warpage in excess of 0.075 mm (0.0030 in) within a 516.5 mm (20.33 in) area must be replaced.

meh copy and paste didn't work so well, but you get the idea. While the average shade tree mech with some time can get the heads on and off, most don't have the know how or tools to correctly check the heads, esp when a small shop can do it for a few bucks

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet. Only things on my rig that I didn't do are my tranny and turbo install...

And I have forgotten more than you will ever know...

I'm guessing you have never done a set of heads either :rofl:

This is a low BS website, start saying stuff that isn't right and you will get jumped on, a large percentage of people here have built their own engines to some extent (I had a shop machine and balance mine but bolted it together, many people on here build their entire engine)
