Replacing Head Gasket Need Help
I am replacing my head gasket on my 91 Pontiac Sunbird LE. It has a 2.0 L engine. Also, its a convertible(im not sure if the convertible edition is different from the regular) and i am wondering if there is anything i should replace besides the gasket,refilling the oil and coolant after draining, and the bolts that you generally replace. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

what is the reason for replacing the head gasket?

While the engine was off, i did an oil change. and frsh oil began running out of the muffler. I did a compression test and they were all low but one was severely low. So, I assume it to be head gasket.

That does not mean a bad head gasket. You need to perform test to confirm what is wrong because replacing the head gasket ight not solve the problem.

Did you try starting?
Was there any overheating issues?
How did fresh oil get to the mufflers?
What were the compression test results?
How much oil did you fill in?
