i bought a 94 sunbird with a bad head gasket tho it might have been good since when i bought it i had to literaly put not pressure on the head bolts to get the loose litteraly spun them with one finger when i put the ratchet on them but im wonder what tools are needed in this process because i have what looks to be everything holding the head down and i cant get it loose ive tried block of wood and a hammer nothing i read in the haynes manual u have to take the power steering pump off but i dont c where thats holding it down but i could be wrong i have the whole head gasket kit but i dont know what else i have to do to get the head off so some help would be nice



and my question is i put a new fuel pressure regulator on cause the old one leaked where the gas line attatched to it from the gas tank im wondering if that metal peice that slides inside the FPR is suppose to have a rubber gromet or something because it does not have one or maybe if its work out and i need to get a new fuel line or something so help would be nice and if u think i need a fuel line could u give me an estimate on the price range im looking at i bought the car for 350 bucks so i can spend a few bucks to fix something in great condition that i bought so cheap help is appreciated thanks guys/gals

Is this 94 sunbird 4 cyl or V6 ?. well for the cyl head job, Youre gonna need ratchet set with 6mm to 21mm deep / shallow sockets, Also few flat head, And philps (star screw driver). A few 8mm to 18mm wrenches, Also a torque wrench would be good to have, And If dont have one doesnt matter. Also some long extention for the ratches. I believe the powersteering bracket has to come off, Their is a bolt hiding behind the block, Far behind the Intake. I cyl hd will be a bit of pain to knock loose, Depends on how seized the old H/G is toast. I wouldnt pry with a screw driver on the cyl head, Just a 2x4 piece of wood strike it hard with a large hammer, Then lift it straight off the engine block It will be a bit heavy. Otherwise it should pop off once you get the power steering bracket apart.

Good Luck

keep us updated.
