Its not that I don't trust myself ( kinda ), but it is just too great of a risk for me to take. If you have a pro do it and spend $50, then it will be well worth the money. I spent $1200 on replacing the valves, I don't intend on taking the heads off EVER again. I can time my sohc civic first time, everytime, but the quad cam stealth with a $1200 valve job, isn't something I'm gonna screw up. I'm not sure how much he's gonna want ( if he even takes the money, he's a family freind ), but I figure $50 is more than enough for him to just put the cams/crank in-time, slap the belt on and say goodnight.
I'm not sure on the quickest or the best way to take the heads off, but I went by the service manual, step by step, and it says take turbos and manifolds off, one by one. Hopefully I'll get 20 or more HP from the ferrea valves, but I'll just be glad to drive the car for the first time. Its going back together stock ( even though I have all the mods sitting and waiting ), but I don't want to leave a sensor unplugged or something, and think it is one of the mods making it run funny ( if it does ).
I would replace the head bolts ( even though a lot of people don't), its worth the extra cost, for the piece of mind it will give you.
