        Not on an accord I have done it on my trans am. If it's your first time make sure to keep everything organized, the last thing you want is to get it together and have left over parts. Just take multiple pictures of where everything goes. Also make sure that the cam is in sinc with the crank. The hanes manual sould cover everything i have one and it helps alot with most things.

          Agreed. We had to go through multiple headaches working on my ex-roommates 90 Fox Body Mustang 2.3. That thing was aweful and surprisingly, the Hayne's Manual wasn't as helpful as expected.

            make sure to do them in 3 steps as stated when torquing them down (ft/pd)

            pretty easy, just take your time and double check yourself because you don't want any leaks or anything

              I agree that sometimes you have a wtf moment with them but sometimes it will help. Most of the time they can be useless though.

                DONT RUSH IT!! its your car you wanna drive it take your time with. make sure you put colored tape or somthing when you take off wires or hoses that way you know were they go and where they were.. its not as hard as it looks
                just dont scratch the surfaces.you can pull the head off with the intake still on it. i think i makes it less of a pain in the ass

                  Do take your take your time, label everthing also. Don't try to force something off, usually theres a reason something won't come off. A can of rust pentrating grease or something along those lines can be your friend in freeing stuck bolts. Also use antisieze on bolts that are going into something thats aluminum which is practically everything.
