I'll be honest: although I'm not afraid to tackle a project like a head gasket, I've never actually done it before. I've owned older Volvos since I could drive, so I know the '84-'87 4cyl engines pretty well, but I've never had to do work more extensive than replacing some gaskets above the head and replacing accessories/belts/etc.. I've just never had the necessity to go further than that, so with bigger projects, I tend to rely on my father, who is an experienced mechanic.

You're right though--I was thinking of the rings as an "as long the head is off" project, and I'm glad you told me it's not.

What sort of evaluation do you recommend before I remove the head? (Besides compression tests mentioned above.)
