ok i have been weighing my options for a while now. i have a built head to put on my ls/vtec and i have been trying to figure out if i want to try to do it myself or let someone or a shop do it for me. i have never done work like this before but im sure that i can do it. its something that i would like to say that i did but i dont want to screw up. i have alot of friends that can help me out, so i shouldnt have a problem.

ok well here is my questions. i know that the #1 piston has to be at TDC but, can i do it after the old head is off or after i put the new head on before i put the timing belt on? also adjusting the valves, what do i look for in doing this? thats mainly about it. i know that i might sound like a dumb ass with these questions, its just something that i have never done before and would like to learn. reps will be given to the ones that help me. thanks in advance.
