Head Gasket Replacement/tips


Recommended Posts

So after some "mayo" on my oil cap and dip stick and chocolate milk oil I decided time to dig in and change the head gasket. I will go through my tips steps and anything involving it. Just know I'm not a full bird mechanic just hobbies so sorry if it's not all verbally correct. Here are my before/reference pictures.
