In chasing down my "blowing smoke" situation, evidence suggests a blown head
gasket. Accordingly, I'm preparing to remove the head for the first time.
I could use any and all tips and BTDT insights. As it happens, the engine
was rebuilt by the PO approximately 12K ago. I plan to pull the head with the
engine in the car. A few questions arise:
1. What's the best bet to use for a replacement head gasket?
2. Given the mileage since the rebuild, are there other items to address,
inspect or replace while I'm in there?
3. Will the head studs will need replacement, or can they be inspected
for wear or stretch?
4. Other than a head gasket and possibly replacement studs, should any
other parts be ordered as a matter of course?
Thanks for all advice. I'm going in!
