I pulled the intake and exhaust off. Some of the valves look oily with carbon build up. Maybe this is normal, but I guess I'll pull the head and send it in for reconditioning. On the intake and exhaust, I saw 1 bolt and 2 studs that hold the manifolds together in the middle - I removed the bolt and the 2 nuts but she doesn't want to come apart. Am I missing a bolt? Do I need to heat it up more to get it apart? It took me over an hour to get the nuts and bolts off the intake and exhaust...they were really stuck.
When I put her back together, is it ok to use regular anti-seize on the exhaust bolts or should I spring for the copper or nickel anti-seize? Any loctite needed on any of the bolts or nuts on the intake?
