im not sure but you can download the FSM on this site somewhere just search.
just out of curiosity how many miles were on the car and is this the first replacement?

well I figured it out. I was truly lucky, I pulled the head off and checked valves no damage!!!!. Iwas able to pull intake and head together so i saved a little $ on gaskets. got it all put back together purrs like it did brand new. Next time i wont slack and will change belt on time. it has 126K..... what a slacker!

Good to hear internals weren't slaughtered.

Preventive maintenance is a must.
