Changing head gasket..n e 1 with FSM or a manual?

chineseb0i · May 3rd, 2004, 02:15 PM

some of u may know i blew my headgasket a few months ago in my b12 (ga16i) and i recently bought a replacement headgasket as well as various other parts for a valve grinding job. I know i can do it without a manual but it would be wiser and time saving if i did have some sort of guide to follow or an outline of n e sort. If n e 1 has a chiltons or the Factory service manual on changing the headgasket, I would greatly appreciate it if they would scan the pages and send it to me.

Best bet would be to buy a Haynes manual. Only about $15 and will have everything you need. Check ebay, they usually have them real cheap. Stay away from Chilton's manuals...they suck.

I have a Chiltons manual for my 88 Pulsar and it sucks pretty bad,they don't make a hayes manual for it so I'm on the lookout for a Factory manual..Basically I guess you just pull parts off that are in the way and take the sucker off, have the head looked at so its not warped or something and slap it back on with a new gasket..you may need the torqueing sequence though(very important)

Really, if you know your way around the head, alls you need is the torque specifications.
