what motor do you have, and what year car? i have a 90 cav with the 2.2 and i am doing my headgasket right now too



Who have work on your car is often the difference between "Hey sweet car!" and "Parts for sale!". Choose your mechanic carefully.

Naw, aside from the intake and exhaust manifolds, just the bolts. Gonna be a little 'stuck' together, though. Try whacking it with a hammer WITH a piece of pine (softish) wood in between the hammer and the head. Work your way around the head.

Have you tried gently inserting a wooden handle in one of the center-most ports and lifting with moderate effort to pry the head away,
in order to break whatever capilary action their may be between the head/gasket/block?

Go beyond the "bolt-on".
