Have the head checked for true.

If you take a cut on it, use the thicker gasket available to keep the timing correct.

Leave the manifolds on the head for removal and refitment.

Consider using new head bolts for assembly.

Any suggestions or advise for refitting head gasket? Any pointers or things I should take care of while doing this ? Thanks


Bob,

How can you tell if the head's been cut before?
