You'll need new seals for the injectors.  Don't think they're included with
the gasket kit.  Also, try not to pull the cylinder liners out past the
piston rings.  :o)  Pay careful attention to the way the muffler hanger is
assembled.   These are the main things that stick in my mind from my
experience resealing the right head on my 85 1.9 L.

Oh, yeah... Don't swap the idle switch plug with the plug for the heater in
the aux air regulator like I did (or maybe the PO did).

. My question for this august and learned body is: What's the one thing you
know from doing this yourself that I should either avoid or be sure to do?
