Re: Head gasket

Not to sound condescending it is located under the head. You obviously have not gotten that far yet. It appears that you have gotten the manifold off but not the head itself. You will need to remove the head bolts and then lift the head off. One thing you need to know is that you must use new head bolts when you replace the gasket. These bolts are torque to yield and must be replaced each time you remove torque from the head. If you reuse them your repairs will not last.

I like Chiltons but there are shop manuals that are actual factory manuals that go into great detail. They are quite expensive however.
