Re: white smoke need help

changing a head gasket is easy, you have to pull off the head the remove all the vac lines from the intake and the rear intake bracket. (I would pull it with the intake on the head.)remove your exaust mainfold, valve cover then take out the head bolts, this is where it helps to have a few friends with you... pull the head out. get the head shaved a a machine shop that should run you around $100-$200, a new gasket will be around $100-$140 for the good stuff. I would put lables on all of the bolts and put them in bags so you don't forget where they go... also you might want to get the block and head built while its at the machine shop... hope this helps
