How do I change my head gasket? Do I just need the gasket or do I have to buy the whole set?

Hi there,

You will need a VRS set or a head o/haul set, and you must have the head crack tested and re faced before fitting, it is a good idea to also replace the head bolts as well.

I have a blown gasket not a cracked head. How do I fix that.

You should always get the head crack tested and surfaced, it is they over heating caused by the gasket problem that cracks the head, if you don't you may very well be removing the head again in a very short time. The head machinest can do the testing.
