Someone put edelbrock heads on a Toro?! Geez!

Just unbolt the heads keeping all hardware in order. Have the heads checked for straight and make sure you clean all surfaces completely.

You can pick up a shop manual anywhere for cheap, that should help a lot.

Not to mention the details that someone here might leave out thinking you would know such things. Lots of guys on here are able to do such a job in there sleep but might not be great at step by step instructions.
Get a manual, you'll be glad you did. Coming from a guy who rely's on manuals.

Mike,
Its not a hard job, it is a long multistep process to try and go into detail on here!! I would also recommend a manual!
