92 SC400 Head Gasket Question
Apparently I need a new head gasket in my 92 SC4. My mechanic says that for my V8 the job is very involved and the labor costs will add up, so I'm just gonna tackle it myself. Anyone here every disassembled the head on one of these? If so are there any tips tricks or shortcuts I should know? I searched but it doesn't seem like anyone's posted a how-to on replacing a head gasket.

Easiest way is to take the whole engine and tranny out. This process should not take you more then 2 hours and two more putting it back. However, if you want to do a gaskets change while in the car, you will be spending 3 times the time. Trust me... been there and done that.

BTW, I also have a spare 97 low mile motor I would sell for a good price.

Stevechumo, JamsN and myself took 45 minnutes this morning to take out a SC400 engine. Yes, 45 minutes three of us working. One under the car, one in the car and one infront of the car.
