Quote: Yes you could pull the head with rockers in place , but it would be a pain plus the head is going to lift off the block when the headbolts are loosened because some valves are open.
I use a coat hanger or the dipstick to hold the pushrods up on reinstall.
Thanks for the tips what is the best/easiest way to pop out the freeze plug in the block? Can I reuse them? Just mentally preparing my parts order. So far assuming no head/block damage I am thinking 1)head gaskets, 2)intake gasket, 3)set of freeze plugs(if I can't re-use), anything else I am overlooking? I am hoping to start teardown this weekend after the Chicagoland Mopar Connection Show.
