since i finished replacing the timing chain and guides, oil 3 times, spark plugs, starter, and rod bearings; I finally got my engine to start again. However I think that when the number 2 bearing went it bent the valve cause now I get a nice tapping sound outta the engine when it runs. Also it seems to be lacking a lot of power and having trouble idling and getting above 4k rpm (I assume it is because of ben valves) any ways i was wondering how big of a pain is it to replace the head while the engine is still in the car. I've done it on my spare ka24e while it was on the ground and that wasnt so bad but idk how it will be on the ka24e that is in right now.
