Head gasket is really easy to do. Only thing you need to worry about is making sure your cam timing is correct when you put it back.

Do not pay a shop to do this. There are plenty of helpful people on here that wouldn't mind helping I'm sure.

I would, but I'm having car wiring issues myself.

Make sure you set pistons at top dead center somewhere.

- Remove Intake and Exhaust Mani
- Remove Valve Cover
- Remove Upper Timing Cover
- Remove Cam Sprockets
- Remove Front timing assembly, just lay it back over the front. Don't let it fall down. Ziptie it if you can.
- Remove Cam Caps
- Remove Cams
- Take out the headstuds
- Remove head, wallah.

Repeat backwards with torque specs

Some people use sealant or cement spray on their head gasket to create a better seal.

This is basically the steps. But yea, just ask around. It's a great learning process and definitely worth the cost than paying a shop.
