Hello,

For some reason they only show the installation so you will have to go over the instructions in the diagram below backwards and then forward to do the job, start by disconnecting the battery and draining the coolant. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

You should also need to send the head out to a machine shop for testing and resurfacing.

Before I say it is a head gasket, I would recommend checking engine compression to see if one of the cylinders is low. Keep in mind, condensation accumulates in the exhaust and can drip from the tail pipe.
