need help with head bolts.

[maroon ranger]

Sorry I can't post pictures guys, apparently im not inteligent enough to post them off my phone to the thread. Anyways, I've gotten eveyting loose and torn apart no problem. But when I got to the head bolts I could loosen them all but 4 of them. They are the 4 that are on the inside middle part. My torx bit is apparently to long and interfears with the cam shafts or whatever the hell that rail is tying the rods and vavles together. Hahaha!!! But does anyone have any tips or tricks or a certain tool they wanna clue me in on to get these little bastards out!?

You need to remove the "rocker arm assembly" to get to those head bolts.
When rocker arm assembly is out you remove the "pushrods", these are the long hollow tubes that run down the intake side of each head and sit on the "lifters", you need to put them in the correct order to reinstall them in the same place and way they came out.
Pushrods get wear patterns on their ends and will last you much longer if they go back in the exact way they came out.

I get a piece of card board and label 12 holes, 6 cyl x 2 valves each = 12 pushrods.

You should also cover the lifters with a towel or ??, you don't want dirt to get in their small holes, those holes pump oil up to the rocker arms and valves.
I cover the whole space under the intake, just in case a washer, nut or bolt gets a mind of it's own.

The cam is under the lifters, you can see it thru holes in the center of the upper block

Hahaha yeah hey thanks alot for the info!!!! But yeah last night I put 2 and 2 together and pulled the rocker arm assembly off and as you said I marked the position and wear of each pushrod. Hahahahaha its funny how a few beers later you don't even notice 3 bolts you can remove to make life easier. Hahahahaha I gotta laugh at my dumbass sometimes.
