In process of pulling rear head with engine in car for the head gasket job (figure I'll start with the hard side first). I know it has 10 head bolts but where are the other 3 smaller bolts that have to get removed? the shop manual says you access these from plugs on side of head. For the guys that have removed head while engine is in car, what is the easiest way to get at those 3 bolts?

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS. Anyone trying to get your money should be checked out BEFORE you send anything anywhere.

The Northstar has to be removed for studs, there's no way to get to the rear with the engine in the car
I agree Bigtone, I am installing Norms serts on 99 Seville with 90k on it. I already did my 99 Deville with Norms and they worked great. I hope to just clean up the heads real good and put them back on with new gaskets, Norms inserts and head bolts. I think it is going to be about 600 bucks for the parts. Not bad if all goes as planned. 600 buck car with another 600 in engine and 600 in brakes and water pump and other misc. things,,,less than $2000 to get a nice ride that was 45k new? I love these old caddies!
We really like Caddies in my house. We have 3 Devilles and one newer DTS. My son has an 01 Deville, we did the headgaskets on it earlier this year with Norms. I used to have a 98 Deville, I did them with Timeserts about 4 years ago. From what I heard, the new owner still has no problems with it. I thought the timeserts were ok, and I really liked the rig they give you to drill, but the Norms are just so much beefier. I had a close call last summer where I thought the h/g was going in my 01 Deville, but luckily it turned out to be just the radiator, even though the block test showed positive. Lol
