HI I have a 1999 Daewooo Nubira and I will like to know how do I set the timing in order to or prior to replace the Head Gasket, and what would be the sequences of losing the bolt and thinning them and how much would be the torque?

Leaking a lot of oil and I needs to replace the gasket, so when it was running she hesitate to stop running I went to Autozone they place the scanner to it and it shows to them that the oil sending unit was bad or broken and the knock sensor but I explain to them that I have replace them already, so now like I ask of you I would like to know the sequences of timing and replacing the head gasket and torque?
