Step by step cylinder head procedure
Im doing a head swap and need step by step instructions. Where would I find the most complete ones? I see bits and pieces here and there but there are so many little things to do to do it right.

HP Books "How To Rebuild Small-Block Chevy LT-1/LT-4 (sic) Engines" by Mike Mavrigan is an excellent reference - even if he did erroneously put the hyphens in LT1/LT4. ISBN: 1-55788-393-9

I used Shbox site when I did mine, IIRC the only thing that I had to look for elsewhere were TQ numbers for the heads. Which IIRC I used the search on this site to find.
IMO a head swap on an LT1 is quite easy. Dont be intimdated

I bought this a few years back to use when I did a rebuild but it has lots of good info for a head swap also.

You should be writing the 'How To' books.
