you will need to check that the new heads are flat and not warped.a straight edge will be needed. also make sure the rear belt timing marks are inboard on the pullies , so that your timing is not 360 out when you move to safe position, and pin the driveplate on the inner peg hole if auto. do you have the timing tools stewart ? if the old heads were removed correctly they should be set correctly , but you should tell by checking the position again of the rear pulleys timing marks. have the heads arrived yet in your possession ? you will need to clean and check them very carefully as this could if things are not good, defeat the whole project. you probably miss the car but as simon suggested take your time and do the job slowly and carefully. i hope the heads come off without too much jolting , so yes you should not have to clamp the liners if your carefull. why i mentioned them was because you dont know yet if any damage has occurred to the liner bores or pistons . lets hope not . about time you had a little luck !!
