Heeyy so im in the process of changin my head gasket. goin with a three layer with arp head studs.

Anyone have a step by step of how to change it?
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Hi,

Several things in passing.

Marking the location of the sprockets on the belt or zip tieing them together isn't a bad idea, but don't be surprised if the belt jumps a tooth or two and you have to re-do the timing from scratch. It isn't that hard, just a pain.

Back way off on the valve adjustments so when you reinstall the valve train there won't be any pressure on the cams.

Really do consider getting the head cut, even if it measures flat. A skim pass will leave it perfectly flat and give a little 'tooth' to the surface so it holds the gasket better.

Get the procedures from the factory manual and follow them closely. Get a GOOD torque wrench. Clean and lubricate all threads.

Taking off .025" from the head will up your compression a tad, but will also retard your cam timing slightly. Time for adjustable cam sprockets.

While head is off turn upside down and put something like kerosene in the combustion chambers to see if there is any leakage. If so, you might consider getting the valves lapped.

Good time for a new belt. Getting the cam timing right can be a pain in the behind.

Any questions?<LOL>
