Default Blown Head Gasket

1994 Honda Accord LX. 184,000 miles
I think my head gasket is blown, as it was burning anti-freeze like no one's business. It also was running pretty rough. About 4 days ago it stopped running, I think the timing is off, I'll fix it when i work on the gasket.
How difficult of a job is it to replace the head gasket?
any good walk throughs?

not that hard but you will have to make sure the head is flat before you reinstall it

OOoooh shooot, I recently replace Head Gasket, in mine - its not that hard, but you have to work very slow (if this is your 1st time)

you need tools - for sure
you need one of those be a$$ torque wrench
you must know how to remove and install timing belt and balancer belt stuff

and this is a must, make sure you send your Head to a Machine Shop and check - if its crooked then get them to shave it...

when you are instilling new head gasket be sure to clean everything and use new head bolts...

you must properly torque your head bolts - sorry I don't know the spec..for your car but some HT Guru will help ya.
