Help/Advice Removing ST202 3SFE Head - NZ, Replacing Head Gasket Options

[jhaletama]

Hi Guys! Any help greatly appreciated. So far have pulled exhaust manifold off removed water connection and unplugged all connections passengers side of the vehicle. I read somewhere i can remove the head with the intake manifold still attached? do i need to remove the engine mount on the timing belt side? any help / advice would be awesome! also wanted to pull the oil pan off and just give a clean but this looks like a mission! like remove engine type?? as pan goes under a lip where the transmission is? is there a way to do this without removing the engine??

If anyone has a spare pdf manual for me that would be awesome to!

Thank you for all your help!

What are you removing the head for? A 3s-ge head will be no use for you even though it fits.

Nevermind that, I saw your previous posts. Blown head gasket? Wow on a 3s-fe how do you manage that
