Changing head gaskets on 1987 944 Turbo

[doctorsmack03]

I am thinking of doing a friend a favor and changing the oil leaking heads on his Porsche. He wants to sell it, but why sell a leaking car? Is it any more difficult than a typical engine. I have worked on Fords my whole life, but never on a porsche. Any special precautions or tools required?

Just be aware of the timing marks and the tension of the belt
