Disconnect your battery

Drain as much of your coolant as possible.

Remove your carb, kickdown to intake linkage, intake etc.

Remove the ground from the front of the head, the exhaust manifold, possibly from the pipe too if you need to.

Remove the valve cover, then the rockershaft assembly.

Take the pushrods out and make sure you mark or put them in an order so they go back to the right lifter AND the correct end down (I like to do that anyway).

Loosen your head bolts but try not to remove the, so you don't get them mixed up, some coolant will probably spill down into the cylinders. Take the head off, you may need to wack the sides gently with a rubber hammer, or there may be a tang you can't pry from a little with a big flatblade screw driver.

Soak up all the anitifreeze off the tops of your pistons. Cover the rest of the motor good and spray some WD-40 on the tops of those pistons and blow it with an air blower from your compressor, just to make sure most the fluid is out. Put a little oil around the edges to keep it from rusting while your working.

Clean the top of the block thouroughly, make sure no trash got into the cylinders, is so, remove it. Do the same to the face of the head.

Clean the top of the block with a good solvent like laquer thinner or etc.

Then do the oppoisite for reassembly. Torque to specs and in recommended sequance for heads, rockershaft, intake, etc.

After your done, do an oil change to make sure no coolant is left in your oil and fill it back up with coolant.


you forgot the gasket
