I don't know but a helpful tip is to sandwich bag up each section and label them, so you don't have nuts or bolts left over.

I have the later DOHC 2.3L-- according to my manual, I should turn the engine to TDC... I apparently don't have a bar long enough to turn it, or there is something else besides blown head gasket. ok to just mark the camshafts and flywheel pulley where they are ?
