I bought a 95 eclipse gs non turbo, I first noticed the car didnt have a timing cover on the dual overhead cams but i didnt mind, after about a week the tensioner gave out an the belt slippped off causing damage to the valves, the car also has a head gasket going bad so im probably going to end up replacing that since getting to the valves will require removing the front end.. Im not a mechanic or nothing but im pretty smart and w/ a thorough walkthrough im sure I can change the gasket and valves... Help ASAP please, I just need a site that walks you through the process

If you having done such as a thing best have someone that knows how to rebuild an engine-can get complicated there's other procedures involved other than just changing them
