Well, I finally got around to coming back on here. Just here to give an update...My car is fixed and it's running good. I'm proud to say that I did the whole job by myself without the assistance of the mechanic here at the shop I work at. It's the first time i've ever done a head gasket/big job like this. Everything turned out good, got the timing set with no problem, which is what I was worried about, thanks to my trusty old haynes manual. Total cost was around 460 for parts. Out of curiousity, does anyone know how much a shop would normally charge to do a head gasket? I just wanted to know how much money I saved by doing it myself. Thanks
