Head and Intake Swap: Any last minute advice?
I have a 318 and im swapping heads and intake out tomorrow. Any last minute advice? Are there any tips or tricks that I should be aware of? I know drain the radiator, label parts, torque bolts to the right specs. This is my first time. Anything else? Thanks

You don't necessarily have to remove the dist. / Just makes it easier.. Taking the ,motor that far I would also replace the timing chain..
