I sell my hoes off to the next pimp when they become impotent with customers.

 

Take off the studs at the bottom of the timing chain cover so you can slide the cover on at a slight angle to take care of not sliding off the lower oring for the oil pick up.
after a couple bolts started screw studs in their places after cover.

 

I am currently in the process of doing all of this now.

Can somebody carefully compare the '05-early'06 headgasket to the redesigned headgasket? It would be really nice if there was a way to tell from outside the motor which headgasket the motor has. Like, oh, hey, look, they put an extra tab on the gasket that sticks out at the front corner of the head.
