After head gasket replacement question!!!

nothing could cause that, there is lots of slack and that looks pulled apart. if the head were ungrounded maby it would effect your sensors or injectors, though I dont see how with all the head bolts and exhaust it could be ungrounded. but hook that back up and see what happens. just vice gip it back together.

I purchased this tool for the job, it's a Schley Products Number 91400A. (I'm a tool loon, if I need it once I buy it), you can most likely rent one. Made the job much easier.

A few people have posted DIY valve stem seals on this forum, but I think everyone used the Schley tool or something like it. I'd hit up the search function.

fop has a cheesy one uses the spark plug as the fulcrum anchor which raises the question how you put air or rope in the cylinders?
