I agree that this is a job you want to take your time
with and give thought to each action.
example how rusty is this project, use lots of rust
buster the weeks before and each day toward the job
how pitted is the head and what cleaner do you have to
remove the old sealer   a clean head is a good seal
rotate the pushrod tubes as you torque the head so
they seal well
what other things should you do when you do the job

Subject: in vehicle head repair

Hello all.
As the subject line indicates, I am thinking of in van
repair of the
dreaded
leaking head gaskets and exhaust gases in said cooling
system. I would
like
those of you who have done these repairs with the
engine still in the
vehicle to
E-mail me directly with
any words of wisdom/warnings/discussion.
I have been to the archive and I am well aware of the
pit falls
(snapped
studs, stuck cylinders ect..) just want to touch base
before I make the
decision.

 ( have more bread to throw into the box, man )   ; )
