<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Mark,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Guess I will use some Styrofoam on the studs. Maybe that will help. Any advice on how to pack the heads for shipping from the group would be helpful. I was planning on using the styrofoam and tape on the studs, using bubble wrap and and tape on each individual head and filling all loose space in the box with balls of newspaper. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Each head weighs about 15 lbs, maybe? Better to ship individually or together? Also wondering about insurance value for shipping, $1500? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Never had the temp light come on even while driving it 6 or 7 hours in an row, but probably better to replace it. I'll go head and remove it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Pulling the engine? Certainly open to it since other things can be examined with it out, but I do not have the needed equipment to do so, and I would need assistance getting it back in place sometime in May I would estimate. I guess I could take the top section off my stackable tool chest and use the bottom for a table. Maybe it would fit on my workbench.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll hold off shipping the heads until next week in case anyone wants to examine them on Saturday.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Dan </div>

The exhaust manifold studs do not need to be removed as long as you pack well around them to keep them from breaking through the shipping box. If the cylinder head temp sending unit was working you can leave it in. If you plan to replace it, take it out now just in case it snaps off, you can ask the head re-builder to extract it while they have it. At 48 years old it might be a good idea to replace it anyway.<br>

Check.
Got it off today. Amazing how much more smoothly things go with a little experience.
Need to remove the choke thermostats before shipping. Should I remove the exhaust manifold studs? A couple came out on the head as I forgot to raise the flap on the lock washers before. What about the cylinder head temp sending unit? Leave in or remove?

Removed shrouds (thankful that the right heater shroud offered no mysteries), carb studs out, all top six heads nuts cooperated nicely with no stud movement (three broke free with PPB and tightening them a bit before loosening; the other three required the vice grips as well). Should I tightening those back up a bit before removing the lower studs? I thought I read somewhere that that helps take stress off the lower studs when removing them.
