well, i took the valve cover off the other night and found a bent push rod, so now i've got the head off and am going to rebuild it................ In the mean time i'm going to try to get the brakes working. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips or warnings that i should be aware of! first off i'm just going to try and bleed the system and see if that does the trick.

Does your brake system have a hydrovac unit? If it does, be sure to follow the bleeding procedures described in the Shop Manual.
