Hi I am about to do head gasket change, maybe all engine gaskets , this is my first time doing so do you think it is to complicated for average joe, or can somthing easily be messed up and hard to put back. Like I said I have done only regular maintenance never went that deep into engine. Plus do you know any site that might give detailed instructions or schematic? Thanks alot!

You need a few tools. Torque wrench is the most important one, Re setting the timing chain is another biggie, get it wrong and it will not run. Set engine to 1# at Top dead center on compression stroke before you dissasemble it. Also get a manual, this will have tightening sequences and torque values, a must! I dodnt advise this job for a beginner!
