Thank you for reminding me to put the turbo clamp back on I was meaning to do that. I took off the intake cam only so I can try to remove the fifth head bolt that is stripped that is my main concern at this point. If I can get it loose then I will remove the exhaust cam and take the head off...

Sorry I haven't been posting up pics but tonight I finally uploaded every single picture I took, here are some of the latest ones. I didn't take pictures when I removed the intake cam because my brother came home with our new adopted dog and I spent the rest of the evening getting him settled in...

Yea, I got the cam off. Just need to hammer in that 7/16 hex bit tomorrow again.

Okay I removed the cam gears, timing cover, and cam bearing caps but the cams won't come out, any ideas? The rear is free but the front is still in

Is that a Flepro gasket kit? Looks like the same one I have except yours is packaged much better than mine lol. Are you going to be using that gasket? Felpro say it's as good as OEM.

Find where it's leaking, pretty simple man.

Check your hoses and maybe a crack in the radiator, run the motor and look where it is spraying from. Since it is being splashed onto the fan it has to be spraying from somewhere so you can find it that way. How old are the hoses? If they are original then I'd suggest changing them with better...

is the bushing supposed to like click in or does it sit loosely

Is it hard to change? I read it's easy but all you do is remove the center console, take off the shifter then replace the parts and grease them up then reinstall right?

THE GODS HAVE SMILED UPON ME, I didn't get caught up in the nationwide back order for too long

Shifter bushing and socket came in with the infamous stickers from Marlin

Right lol time to order that 7/16"

ahhh I see now, which one have you had more success with, hammering in a 7/16" socket or a big easy out?

I thought the easy out is supposed to fit over the entire bolt head and bite into the sides?

I thought Easy out wouldn't work on 7M head bolts because they aren't hex bolts, on the outside? I did find a 7/16 at Grainger, this one http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/BLACKHAWK-BY-PROTO-Hex-Bit-Socket-6PLG7

Well I went to two local stores that have lots of hex bits and they only have 12mm or they don't have 7/16" and in order to use the 12mm I'd need to remove the cam, which I don't mind doing as long as it will work. Could I use the 12mm or is that too big?

lol sweet

Yea I remember reading 7Ms are non interference so if I mess up the timing it won't damage anything it will just run weirdly right

Yes I remember seeing this page but I forgot where I saw it, I was looking at the timing belt section lol

When I remove the cam to get to that stripped bolt, so I have to mark the position of the cams and such or do they go back in a certain way? Like right now it's at TDC so will the cam gears and the cam only fit in at TDC?
