So the timing assembly was a breeze. I've found that I have to take the exhaust manifolds off to get to the heads. To get the exhaust manifolds off, I have to take off the catalytic converters. The nuts and bolts on the rear flange of the cats are rusted solid. I'll be buying parts once I have a list of what I break or have to cut apart.

How much overall do you think you'll end up saving with this project vs what's been quoted before? How different would you say the process has been do far, and if it's worth it?

I'll save about $1500. I'm trying to only use free time on this project so I can justify not paying a shop to do this. Projects like this are fun to me and very satisfying as long as they don't drag out due to me getting distracted.

I get it. They wanted over half the cost in labor alone to do some repairs on mine a bit back. Outside of getting an alignment there and something else I can't remember, we ended up doing everything at home. If you've got the gift of figuring out what to do, there's pretty good rewards to diy'ing it.
