Hi Fred -

=20

I'd say having a couple moderatly strong people to lift it out is =
probably enough, main thing is to slide it up on top of the studs, =
although I am able to do it myself but the six cyl is a bear.

In terms of head gasket, there's a couple of approaches: =20

One is to use the old standard copper gasket and then spray both sides =
with a thin layer of spray hylomar or permatex copper spray a gasket. =20

The other option is to get the composite gasket from SC parts, which is =
a really nice unit, as long as your deck and head aren't too far out, =
the composite gasket is superior and will save you from having to shave =
things flat, which the copper gasket prefers and the steel gaskets need. =
 Personally I'm not a fan of surfacing the head or deck... so the =
composite gaskets that SC parts sell is a really nice option.  they are =
beautifully made.
