Hey,

Sorry for the disturbances but i was wondering how hard gemmi headgaskets are to replace. I read the article in the workshop section and it sounds pretty tech. I have played around with bits and pieces on cars before but never really tried anything that difficult. Do you reckon it is to difficult for someone like me to do or should i give it a try? just trying to get some other peoples opinions.

Thanx.

Do it yourself for sure, its a piece of piss seriosly. Get a gregorys manual first, it has step by step instructions, great if you havnt done it before. The only way to learn about your beast is to get your hands dirty and learn yourself, give it a shot

Use an allen key socket and a large breaker bar if thats still not enough slip a long tube or pipe over the end of the breaker bar to give you more leverage.
