1998 C70 Coupe, 2.3L HPT, 220k

Been loosing coolant for a while now, stopped all the leaks with new components, but the coolant loss has only accelerated. Came close to overheating, but never had a full event. Stopped driving the car and ordered tools and parts.

Replacing the head gasket over the long labor day weekend. I have some questions for the experienced folks. Will spawn some sub-threads for the major questions.

I have been using this pictorial and textual guide.
