My boy is replacing his head gasket this weekend (here) and I wanted to help him. I don't have any expierence in this area really but I'd like to learn. I'm not mechanically challenged or anything but he's protective of his car so I think he's nervous about me helping If you tell me what to do then I would have no problem doing it. Ya think there's anything fairly simple I might be able to do without him going ape on me? That is... aside from lighting his cigarettes for him....

Well, you could remove the accessorie belt ( just put a rachet + Socket ) on the tensior pully and lean on the rachet to take the tenion off the belt! You can disconnect the battery (always a good step!). take the screws outa the front timing belt cover. uh, you could spray some wd-40 on the exhuast manifold/header bolts. You can drain the water and the oil! You can make sure your b/f doesnt light up a cig when hes playing with the fuel rail lots of simple things you can easily do, thats where i started(minus the b/f!), everything else i just learned by watching! Good luck, dont loose any bolts ,screw, or nuts
