even if it needs a head gasket .if you have a bit of aptitude and a few tools you can easily do a head gasket job on that engine in 6 hours start to finish.

i have done the job in 3 hours many times and even that was taking breaks to snack and use the toilet.


here is a breakdown:

it will take you 45 minutes to 1 hours to remove what you need to get the head off the block

it will take you another 45 minutes to clean up the engine mating surface and measure your head for flatness and clean it up as well.

IF the head measures within a couple 3 000's or less off from flat you can if you want reuse it without resurfacing with NO ill effect.

if you can reuse it as is another hour to install it. bolt it down and re attach whats unattached.

start at 9 am and you can if you're fast be done by lunch or at worst by supper.
