I just did my hg and its a pain the first time. I think I could do it in about half the time now. You should follow the tsrm except for the torque spec on the head bolts. I just went with the arp head studs to be safe. The spec for them is 90ftlbs. And remember to clean out the threads in the block well before reassembling. This site will have all the info you need.

And remember it is always recommmended if you use a mhg to have both surfaces(block and head) machined flat and smooth.

im running short on funds so im going to be using a stock headgasket. but im probably going to be getting arp studs so it doesnt happen again

I used a felpro hg and used the copper spray made by Permatex, Cre recommended. It is said to keep the gasket from drying out and help it seal better. It shold be sold about every auto part store. Also make sure to be very carful when pulling things apart. Vsv's are easy to break and hard to replace.

yeah im using felpro also. and i will definitely look into buying that stuff. if it works i will definitely buy it. and i have one of my friends helping me take it apart and put it back together so im going to be very easy that i dont mess anythign up because low funds suck so yeah. im going to be super careful so i dont break anything.
