Default Head Swap?

Hey, any link to a head swap walkthrough? I want to do mine, but have no idea how to proceed. I did a PI manifold swap from suggestions in here, and it came out beautiful. So now I'd like to do the head swap. Any hints? Thanks!!!

Hmmm, thats a pretty big job. I wouldn't reccomend doing it yourself unless you are real familiar with your engine.

I wanted to wait too...but the coolant leak from the t-housing wouldn't wait till I raised the capital for the pi heads... and

That's what I was told about the manifold swap--first time and no vacuum leaks!...but maybe you're right...As for frustration, I am very dedicated, and don't give up too easily. I am willing to learn from mistakes, and am not afraid to make them in an effort to doing this thing.

I'll PM Acer2428 to ask him...besides him, you guys know of an online guide, database, or hints of any kind on the process? Thanks a million, brothers!
