Closed Deck EJ25 Block and Head Separation Not Good

After months of letting it sit and a week waiting for tools to arrive, the long block has finally been separated into the short block and heads. I teased myself by taking off the driver side head first. The passenger side looked fine...upon the initial quick glance. Unfortunately the short block and passenger side head are done.

Get some Grip edge (or mac RBRT they are all made by grip edge) sockets for the cam sprocket bolts. Life changing for me when I got them. Havnt had any issues since👍

Thanks for the tool recommendation! These are pricey but they look like they can solve a ton of issues and alleviate a lot of stress.

@ yeah they def worth buying. Shit even if you can get just the 10mm one to solve the sprocket issues. Then switch the OEM ones out for the F.U. Bolts 😅

@ Definitely getting the FU bolts. However, there's not a hex head option for the clutch fork pin cover, so the 10mm hex would still be of use.

@@The_DrivingAddict FU bolts for the win! But yeah those sockets come in handy so often. I use them a lot on all sorts of things.
