PROBLEM!!
I replaced my head today and the gaskets(head,exhaust,intake,waterpump.)and i got everything hooked up but i didnt hook the exhaust manifold to the exhaust (its hooked to the head) and it took a while to start and when it did there was no idle and there was oil dripping from the exhaust manifold. what can the problem be????

RE: PROBLEM!!
Heres what happens. The battery is dead so i had to jump it so it was turning over for a littlewhile then i got it to start then i had to hold the gas to kep it on and there was no idle. then i see theres oil dripping from the manifold. can the idling be from the vacume hoses (the ones that are on the intake) being hooked up wrong?

RE: PROBLEM!!
dude their are these things in your exaust called 02 sensors which are needed for a efi system to work and if your entire exaust is not hooked up your car wont run right. Also the oil could be a bunch of things, if you redid the head you should have also replaced the valve seals... which is proly what wrong.

For the valve springs... its becuase you need a special tool to do it. Check out ls1tech.com some guy makes a tool for 25 bucks that will do the job opposed to the regular tool that costs 110.
