Removing Nytro engine advice

[Seeder]

I am thinking about puting a head shim in my 2008 turbo nytro. Is there any special tools that are needed to remove the engine. I looked at the repair manual and it says something about a special tool needed. Do ya need it or is there another way of doing it. thanks.

Real easy if you use this tool, will save some skin on your nuckles but you may need some new fasteners when you are finished.

Motleyone, you say with a headshim you cannot run over 15lbs of boost, why do you say that? I have and probably always will with just a headshim with no problems at all and know many others as well? Just curious as to why you would say that? If i were running 20+ lbs everyday i would go rods and piston but if done correctly and torqued properly a motor with shim running 18 everyday will last just as long and have no problems related to the shim. This is just my experience and my .02

ya, all i gots a head shim i ran 20 + all last year, i never had a problem. i know guys who run 18 with no headshim, no pistons, no rods, **** all. as long as you run good fuel through them they seem to stay together.
