:hammer: ok well it kinda looks like the guy gettin his head removed..anyway to remove the head on an sr20 you have to use allen wrenches (i belive this is correct i havent removed mine yet. but to put it back on you have to torque them correctly, so do they sell a torque wrench with allen fittings? also doesn anyone know where i can get cheap gaskets for the sr?
as always thank you for your responses

I just used a socket with a hex key inserted into it (after cutting a portion off, 10mm hex IIRC).

just go to auto zone or another large parts store and buy a 1/2" drive socket with a 10mm allen key in it, it's normally stocked.
