Re: How to swap heads quickly.

I have used the "bungy cord" method several times. It definitly saves time but I have a feeling Nightrider and Pushit2.0 could do the whole job the right way in an hour sooner than the rest of us taking the shortcut method.

I've done it both ways. In the end I just got really fast at tearing down the timing belt side and setting the timing belt (I've done so many I dont even know the count, same with many members on this forum).

The "lift and yank" sort of way to do it very quick, but the risk of dropping something, bumping something, etc just isn't worth it if someone is paying me to do it. If it is my car and I just did the t-belt stuff, I might entertain the idea, but then most of the dsm's I've owned don't have intake's bolted down to long, a/c systems that work, etc...so all that is out of the way.

Still, anytime you get to invent a tool, is a good day in my book
