1908, RE: anyone replace a Headgsket before? Posted by magnus, May-15-01 08:23 AM Get a childons manual they explain it fairly well......im going to tackle that task sometime this summer myself so any advise will help me too | |

1909, RE: anyone replace a Headgsket before? Posted by Michael_97RS, May-15-01 08:43 AM I haven't done it yet, but I would recommend setting a weekend aside to tackle the project, just in case. Definately do it with a manual handy. There are a lot of little steps and not a whole lot of space to work in our engine bays. BUt I would start like a Saturday morning and leav Sundayopen if you run into problems and it takes longer. I will do this when I have saved money for head works cams etc. | |

1910, RE: anyone replace a Headgsket before? Posted by Jen, May-15-01 11:10 AM To keep it simple it is a big pain in the ass! Tons of stupid things that just don't make sence at all. And I think unless you really know what you are doing and have done it before it's gonna take longer than just a 2 day weekend. And while you are working on it make sure you have something to punch around you... lol | |

1911, I couldn't have put it better Posted by Skrilla, May-15-01 05:37 PM ...it is not a job for the timid and will take some time. You will also need an upper engine gasket kit (complete cylinder head Gasket kit) | |
