How are you replacing the head gasket without the Factory Service Manual? I highly recommend buying one before you tackle the job.

^^^ ??? I replaced the head gasket and got my car running again without buying one. You can just find one online. My biggest problem was the vacuum lines, still something a little amiss with them, but runs great.

please also you make sure you get copy of online manuel.. there is a very specific sequence to adhere to , to remove cams .. if not you will bend or snap a camshaft.. also very specific sequence to remove head bolts or risk twisting the alum head.. once head is off use atf to clean pistons and don't use dremel to remove gasket material on block ...

I have been hunting for an online service manual, but I have had no luck at all. Can someone point me in the right direction
