Head gasket job... D.I.Y.??? 200 90

posted by  someone claiming to be Yves near Montréal, formerly Yves on  Sun May 6 07:40 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi.

I need to change the head gasket but I would like your input on what's involved so I can decide upon doing it myself or having it done by my mechanic.

-Just how much of the engine do I have to take apart?

-Do I remove the cam assembly or does it stay in place?

-Any special tools required?

-How much time should it take?

-I'm shure I'm forgeting some questions, any input more than welcome.

The car is a 1990, 240 DL, b230 with m47 tranny.

Thanks for your time and information, it will be put to good use.

Yves.
