Um i blew my head gasket a few weeks ago and i wanna get it goin for queens birthday weekend!

I have a mechanic over the road who said he will check it out one night during the week but i have tomorow off work so might takel it my self?

Would just be rippin the head off so he can tell if it's all good.......

Whats involved i remeber last time he had it off in about 20 minutes but what do i have to do to get it off?

CHEERS GUYS!

mark all req. vacume lines, remover exh. manifold, remove intake man.dump water/coolant from entire engine, might have to remove radiator to get to screws on timing cover, remove them, take off rocker cover, mark pullys/belt/crank/cam location(or zip tie everything in place) remove headbolts, head MAY require a love tap to 'break the seal' and SHOULD come off relatively easy.. pretty much it.. someone will chip in if i forgot anything im sure...

suggestion: Get a cardboard box and mark one end as FRONT, when removing bolts from head etc puncture cardboard with a screwdirver and insert bolts into cardboard as they are removed. . front left, rear right yada yada yada.






just hope THIS doesnt happen...

JUST RIP THE HEAD OFF. GET IT CRACK TESTED. THEY BLOCK ALL THE HOLES AND PUMP WARM OIL IN. IT SEEPS THRU CRACKS. GIVE IT A HAIRCUT AND BACK IN. DON'T LET EM TRY TO SELL YOU NEW VALVE GUIDES. 500 BUCKS LATER.

If the motor needs rings and every thing i'm just buy one off a bloke i know and wack a whole new motor in.....

Didn't work on it today cause i had a huge sesion on the piss last night so slept half the day then spent the rest with the missus to make up for a sloppy night last night! Was worth it but.....
