Got out this morning to take advantage of a nice warm day and get started with the head swap. Got everything torn down to the short block, and cleaned up. Started installing the new Dart heads, and the ARP stud kits, but ran into a snag. The ARP studs use a 12 point nut, and my deep sockets are 12 point, except the smallest two that are 6 point. They wouldn't hold well as I tried to tighten the nuts, and slipped. So had to stop and go buy a 12 point deep socket from the local used tool peddler. A whopping $2 for a good old Craftsman socket, so pretty cheap.
Decided to stop for a late lunch at this point, and I'll go back tomorrow to finish it up. Unfortunately the crappy cold, wet weather will return Monday, so have to wait until the next round of false spring to give it a test run!
