Head Gasket Blown

[Dan_boy_01]

Hello,

I need to replace the head gasket on my 2002 Scenic, 2.0 Litre diesel engine..... I have done the head gasket on a previous old engine, but what with all the fancy fuel injection stuff etc, i wanna get some advice about how to do it....

I know that to remove the cylinder head completely then you have to disconnect loads and loads of leads and connectors etc, but i want to make the job as easy as possible... Basically, to JUST get to the head gasket can i just disconnect things like the exhuast inlet mannifold, glow plugs (its a diesel), injectors, cambelt (I know how to replace these, done it before...) and then just unbolt it, have a mate hold it a couple of cm's in the4 air, then just bung in a new head gaket and tighten it all up again???

A previuos freind did it like this on an old knackered ford at about 100,000 miles, at roughly 170,000 miles the cars is still going strong!!!

Cheers everyone, any help aprreciated...
