OK so after some discussion and some investigating i think there is a missing oil plug in the back of the heads i just installed.

so tonight i start the teardown again. I'm thinking that instead of working on the motor in the car im just going to drop the kmember( long tubes) and the steering shaft and just pull the motor. Is there a better way to go about this or am i on the right track.I guess this would be a good time for pics. So if you have some suggestions then i would like to hear them about pulling the motor or just working on it inside the car.

ok nobody has any thoughts.

I would think its easier not to drop the motor to take the heads off. Thats my opnion hopefully someone else chimes in

well if you are fooling with headers then i dont know. i Wonder if you could pull the head off with the LT still attached?

Oops didnt notice you had long tubes. Yea Idk man, tough call, yea if you can pull the head off with the LT attatched then do that....Other than that looks like your probally going to have to drop the Kmember

I have the flowtech headers and they r slip joints around the steering shaft, so i was figuring that instead of messing with those and the egr again i would just drop the k member. Hopefully save the headache of headers. The other thing is that i noticed when i started it up the other day i had some coolant/water mix run out too. There isnt any in the oil or in the valley so i am wondering on ideas about that???????
