cylinder head

[charliev68]

Can the heads be removed with the exhaust manifold still attached?

The reason I ask is because my heads need to come off because I’m going to replace my valve springs and cylinder 5 exhaust valve.

If you are asking that question, do you have the skills to replace the valves and valve springs?

Yes, just want to know if the exhaust manifolds can come off with the heads.
I actually have an extra set of heads, so I’m very familiar with them.
I’ve had a set of Supertech Valve springs sitting on my shelf for a year already. Just been too lazy to install them.
Now will be the perfect time to swap springs and redo valve stem seals!

I've read about people doing this with other motors particularly with aftermarket headers with very tight engine bay clearances to work with when removing cylinder heads with the engine still in the car. Curious if you were able to do this with the S65 without any issues?
