my mate has a 1.4sr k reg his head gasket has gone any tips or help on how to replace it how long you think it will take thx
Haynes.
You might as well change cambelt/waterpump while your at it.
And the head may need skimming, depends if it overheated.

any thing to look out for any tricky bits done a redtop but that was easy
8v is a piece of pi** compared to xe.

I've done one in under 2 hours but I had a spare, freshly skimmed head to hand. Exhaust manifold nuts/studs/bolts are probably the worst bit as I allways find they've rusted out of size, make sure you have 1/2" and 12mm sockets ready to bash on if you need to.
