Head Gasket change tips (experienced XUDers) please.
#36
Another tip, make sure you run a tap down the head bolt holes. M12x1.25 IIRC

Also plenty of penetrating fluid on the manifold bolts as they're a bloody nightmare, mine went back in with stainless!

Oooo and make sure you completely clean the deck of the block up to create a good mating surface for the new gasket.

Get a torque angle gauge for reassembly (unless your going to be pikey)
