Hi Everyone,

I'm the new guy. So anyway, I would like to do most of the work myself. Basically the head is apart right now. I'll probably take the pieces to a shop to get them to check that everything is ok. For sure I need a new gasket and perhaps while the thing is opened, I'll look at other gaskets and seals. But I want to know, how difficult is it to put back together. Provided I have the specs and the tool, it's just a matter of time, right? Also, for sure I'll need a e-brake cable and windshield (two large cracks). I get the car trailered over here on Monday so I'm going to look thru it more thoroughly then and see if I need anything else. The bottom end looks ok. The guy poured some oil into each cylinder and then seem to be holding the oil ok so I'm guessing the rings are fine. Pistons and cylinder walls are clean. Head also looks clean. Oh yeah, is there a head rebuild kit with a whole bunch of gaskets and seals? Anyone know rough pricing? Thanks.
