Lee: This a big job more then I want to write down for you. I hope you know this is a large job you are getting ready to do. You have the tools, garage and time. You will be opening up the engine and you need to make sure it does not get dirt into it or even water. You sir need to go down to some parts store and buy yourself a repair manual for your car. Or else check out your library because they carring them, because once you open up that head you might find all kinds of things that my writing would not explain. It is not just taking off the head taking off; the gasket and then replacing it. You have to remove a lot of other things to get to that head gasket, but also you have to becareful that engine parts do not fall into the engine. Have to make sure you get all the old gasket off so that the new gasket will work right. Besides I work mostly on Eclipses and you did not put down the engine size or model. Every car is different. So get that repair manual they cost around $20.00 and well worth the money spent. Then no matter what you run up against you can check the manual and then fix it. Hope this helps and good luck!
