How to replace a head gasket

hey brad
it may be worth spending a couple of bucks and purchase a one time service agreement for your vehicle online with mitchell on demand , this will have everything you need including torque specs and sequence , it would take some time to prepare this on my own and mitchell will be more descriptive and has pix and diagrams and the fee is small

money is tight and i just cant really afford it. i really want to fix this car, i just want to know what i do next? i dont mean to be rude reguarding your reply i just need some help with this.

no offense taken but 20 bucks would walk you right through it , especially since i cant see exactly what youve done so far , not to mention we would be back and fourth all day long , but i can try , but you will need to be very specific on what youve done , and the head should go to the machine shop for pressure test and mill and valve job

I have disconnected the air intake. i have the top cover (that says 1.9) off and i have the head bolts loose. battery has also been taken out. along with the coil pack and plug wires. exhaust, alternator, belts, are still connected. oh and i dont have 20 bucks lol. sorry no offence

first you should have backe off the rockers and pulled the pushrods and put them in a spot so they go back in the same way , remove the intake , and the exhaust oh and im skipping alot here all small things you should see when disassembling

i got all the bolts on the grey thing behind the head loose but it wount move. i think ive done most of what you said.

did you remove the timing cover and set the timing before the belt comes off , and you must be missing a bolt or two on the intake and exhaust

No i dident take the timing cover off. i cant find anymore bolts that are tight on the intake, the exhaust i dident take off. but you'd think it would still move a little. its not
