Head Gasket?

Please help with the procedure and equipment needed to replace my cylinder head gasket on my corsa 1.2 2003 sxi?

if your head gasket has gone the cylinder head will need to be skimmed,because its made of aluminium and warps when the gasket goes,not a job you can do,unless you own an engineering company,the norm cost of this is £100.00.if you take the block off send it to be skimmed,then its just a case of getting new gasket,and fitting it ,hope this helps ,but you will need a torgue wrench to tighten the head bolts to the required tension,(cheaper to put into garage)

Your best bet will be to buy a copy of the Haynes manual around £20 (Halfords, Amazon etc) or your local library might be able to get you a copy, it will take you step by step through the proccess, with pictures and tools required, as it's far to involved to detail on here
