What's your least favorite part about pulling the heads?

The loneliness....
Wtf I dunno...its just going thru the motions at this point. I pulled the turbo system, intake, and stared at it for two days trying to psyche myself up to do it. Then I'm done in a few hours lol. Getting started is my least favorite I guess
i really had no clue if i would even be able to pull the heads in the truck with studs. a little vacuum block i put on while the entire engine was out got caught so i had to take it off the back of the head with an allen key

ordered some more of these stupid exhaust o-rings.... i feel like a dumbass having to call and order 3 bux worth of orings over the phone.
so i was going to email them and see if they could just bill me for another set - but they slipped up and put the part number on the invoice....so i ordered 30 of them for 10 bux from the manufacturer

said they can fix it. if i wanted to keep doing what im doing or turn it up more, i need to swap to a different guides and iconel exhaust valves...better springs..
which at that point i was ready just to jump up to the big boy heads and repair these back to how they were (cheaply). their f-series heads come with upgraded springs and guides. so the only added costs would be for the different valves but they have a raised intake/exhaust runner which means i would have needed to find more room to go up with the intake. more money, more power, but i dont think i can find the extra height.
would have been easier just to starrt with a fresh set of heads, but they're on backorder/sold out for a few months basically. so sending mine in was the fastest option
