    Rocker bolts don't go all the way through. Unless the rocker was on the exhaust side of #4 or #8, you shouldn't have to remove the head.

    Use grease on the drill and cutter to hold chips and pick out what falls loose. The rest will get caught in the oil filter.

    why would you have to remove a head for number 4? i can understand maybe # 7 & #8...he isnt working on a ford so number 4 is easy to get too

    Yeah, yeah. I was reading back over it and was wondering why I said #4 when it is obvious it is #7.
